Rising Star Showcase Award

Established in 2026, the Rising Star Showcase is presented annually during the PNS Business Meeting, held as part of the PNS Annual Meeting. It serves to spotlight emerging leaders in the field of peripheral nerve research and clinical care. Nominees are selected by a committee composed of the five PNS Special Interest Group (SIG) Chairs. Each year, a call for nominations is distributed to voting SIG Board Members to identify outstanding candidates. Two awards are presented annually in the following categories:
