International Awards for Willi Koller and Dr. Hans Kainz at the ESMAC 2023 conference

04.10.2023

The purpose of ESMAC (the European Society for Movement Analysis in Adults and Children) is to stimulate and advance scientific knowledge, professional interaction and the exchange of ideas among society members relating to movement analysis in adults and children in clinical and research settings. Just two weeks ago, the most recent annual meeting of the ESMAC society took place in Athens, Greece.


Willi Koller has been honored with this year's "Best Paper Award," a distinction determined by an esteemed award committee. This committee meticulously assessed all submitted abstracts and evaluated the presentations and discussions of the eight finalists. As a result of this recognition, Willi Koller is now invited to submit the complete paper related to his presentation for publication as the 'ESMAC Best Paper Award' in the Journal of Gait & Posture.

Dr. Hans Kainz achieved the runner-up position (2nd place) for the Dr. Tom Shannon Promising Scientist Award, an accolade reserved for individuals whose research has made a substantial impact on the realm of movement analysis.
