The Allergopharma Award was first established in 2000 on the initiative of Allergopharma Joachim Ganzer KG and in collaboration with the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. It is intended that the Award should recognize scientific achievement of young scientists working in the field of allergy and encourage their engagement in further research. Therefore, the Award is open to members of the EAACI, and in particular Junior Members, who have conducted their research in a European centre.
