CSBJ-QBIO Presentation Awards

Recognizing excellence in scientific communication and innovation

The 15th International Workshop on Quantum Effects in Biological Systems (QuEBS 2026) is proud to recognize excellence in scientific communication and innovation through the CSBJ-QBIO Presentation Awards. Generously sponsored by the Quantum Biology and Biophotonics section of the Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal (CSBJ), these awards celebrate outstanding contributions presented at QuEBS 2026.

Award Categories

To reflect the diverse presentation formats at QuEBS 2026, four awards will be presented:

Two CSBJ-QBIO Poster Awards — EUR 250 each

Two CSBJ-QBIO Oral Presentation Awards — EUR 250 each

These awards aim to encourage high-quality research, with particular emphasis on early-career researchers and trainees, and to encourage excellence in both visual and oral scientific communication.

About the Sponsor

The Quantum Biology and Biophotonics section of CSBJ places a strong transdisciplinary emphasis on understanding biological systems that potentially harness quantum-mechanical processes. This section also focuses on the development and application of optics and photonic tools, methods, and technologies to address questions in quantum biology and its implications for biomedical and health sciences.

Studies based on experimental approaches, computational simulations, and theoretical developments that are focused on this emphasis are welcome but are not a prerequisite for publication in this section. CSBJ is an international, peer-reviewed open-access journal published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) as part of the Science Partner Journal (SPJ) program.

Selection Process

Award recipients will be selected by the QuEBS 2026 Committee based on criteria such as scientific merit, originality, clarity of presentation, and overall impact of the research.

Special Issue Opportunity

QuEBS 2026 participants are also invited to submit extended versions of their work to the associated Special Issue in the Quantum Biology and Biophotonics section of CSBJ. This provides an excellent opportunity to:

  • Showcase your research to a global audience
  • Publish in a high-visibility, open-access journal
