ASHB Conference Format and Awards

Conference Format

The Conference provides a forum for discussing the latest research in human biology and includes presentations from postgraduate students, established researchers, and invited regional and international experts.
Postgraduate students are encouraged to present their research work at the Conference.


Student Presentation Prize

At each ASHB Conference, a student prize is presented in recognition of outstanding achievement in human biology research by a scientist early in their career. The award scheme is intended to stimulate research in human biology in general and to encourage students to present their work at the highest possible level. Learn more here.

Student Conference Grant

These travel grants are intended to keep the Conference affordable and encourage participation of students by subsidising the conference registration costs. Successful applicants must present a short oral research paper at the Conference, and are chosen on the basis of the quality of an initial written description of their research content. For further details, please refer to the Conference Grant Guidelines.
