Each year the winner is chosen by a panel of senior members of the International Women in MS (iWiMS) and is presented with the prize at the annual European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ECTRIMS) conference in the autumn.

The recipient of this annual award receives:

​

• US$40,000 prize to be used at the recipient's discretion

• Complimentary registration at the next ECTRIMS meeting

• Reimbursement for attending the meeting, travel and three days' meals and accommodation expenses

​

The winner will be expected to present their work. This may include a virtual presentation to an international audience in one of the many iWiMS global remote meetings or in-person meetings such as ECTRIMS.
