The Société Française de Cosmétologie (SFC), organizer of the IFSCC Cannes 2025 Congress, wishes to highlight
the work of young researchers during the event through the SFC Young Researcher Award.

ARTICLE 1 – ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS

This award is open to young authors who have expressed their interest in the prize during the abstract submission
process. Participation is free of charge and on a voluntary basis.

ARTICLE 2 – ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

ARTICLE 4 – JURY AND SELECTION PROCESS

The jury is composed of scientific members of the SFC Board of Directors.
The evaluation of submitted work will follow an initial assessment by the congress’s scientific committee, which
will have ranked submissions from young researcher candidates. The top 10 full papers from this ranking will be
reviewed by the jury, based on both the written paper and the oral or poster presentation during the event.
The three main evaluation criteria are:

The winner will be announced after the jury's deliberation on the afternoon of September 18, 2025.
