Komrower Commemorative Lectures

The Komrower Lecture is an annual award given by the SSIEM. This lecture is delivered each year at the SSIEM Symposium by someone who is considered, by the SSIEM Council, to have made a major contribution to Inborn Errors of Metabolism. The SSIEM Council is responsible for inviting the Komrower Lecturer but will seek the opinion of the Local Organising Committee for the Symposium.

The Komrower Lecturer is introduced by the Chairperson of the SSIEM and there are no questions after the lecture.

The Kromrower Lecture entails:

Invitation to present at the SSIEM Annual Symposium. The title of the presentation is entirely up to the individual
Certificate
A monetary reward of €1,000.00
Full registration to the Symposium including Networking Events
Travel Costs to the Symposium
Four Nights Accommodation at the Symposium Hotel
