The EFLM Academy award has been created to promote excellence and honor extraordinary individuals who have made substantial contribution to the education in Laboratory Medicine in Europe.

The award aims to encourage educational activities and recognize the value and importance of education for EFLM.

The award is granted annually to the author of the most distinguished educational activity or a project in the past 5 years. Eligible are various high quality educational materials, like educational papers, handbooks, books or book chapters, online educational resources, educational courses and workshops. EFLM values inclusiveness and accessibility through removing barriers and sharing resources in education. Therefore, although consideration will be given both to National and European projects, the preference will be given to the most outstanding European projects aimed to a wide International audience.
