Penta Unvails Brighter Future Award 2023: Recognising Innovators and
Visionaries Driving Positive Change

Penta announces the inaugural Brighter Future Award to honour maternal and
child health champions

PADOVA, ITALY / ACCESSWIRE / June 15, 2023 / Penta, an international
independent scientific network dedicated to maternal and child health
research, is proud to unveil the Brighter Future Award (BFA), an annual global
event designed to celebrate the remarkable efforts of individuals and
organisations working tirelessly to improve health outcomes for children and
pregnant individuals living with infectious diseases worldwide.

As we acknowledge the vital role of local champions in driving positive
change, the BFA aims to recognise these outstanding change-makers and provide
opportunities for scientists to connect with and learn from local communities
at the forefront of maternal and child health.

"Our children are our future, and their well-being should be a shared
responsibility that transcends scientific boundaries. Only by fostering
collaboration, advocacy, and policy changes can we ensure that the scientific
advancements translate into tangible improvements for every child, paving the
way for a healthier, brighter tomorrow," said Carlo Giaquinto, President of
Fondazione Penta ETS and Professor of Paediatrics at the University of Padua,
Italy.

Seven winners will be selected by an international jury of experts in their
fields. The winners will each receive a €5,000 prize to support their
ongoing work. Additionally, the BFA will provide all-expenses-paid trips for
the winners to attend the 2024 Penta ID Network meeting in Italy. This
prestigious event offers a platform for the winners to share their work with
Penta researchers and join a network of like-minded professionals dedicated to
child health.

The BFA comprises two categories:

·      Penta's Brighter Future Award: Six awards, one for each of the
six global regions

·      Penta's Brighter Future Young Researcher Award: One award to a
young researcher in the maternal and child health fields.

Nominations for the Penta BFA are open from June 15 to September 15, 2023. A
distinguished panel of experts, including scientists, child health specialists
and experts in youth participation in medical research from across the globe,
will evaluate the nominations based on criteria such as innovation,
sustainability, community engagement and social justice. Winners will be
announced on December 1, 2023.

By recognising the outstanding efforts of those working to make a real
difference in maternal and child health worldwide, we hope to inspire others
to follow in their footsteps and work towards creating positive change in
their own communities.
