Paolo Valerio Award 2026

PROSA Paolo Valerio Award 2026: Submit Your Project

Every two years, the PROSA Knowledge Center presents the PROSA Paolo Valerio Award to a team that has made an outstanding contribution to improving procedural comfort for children. The award, worth €1,500, will be presented during the PROSA Conference 2026.

In 2024, the award was presented to the PROSA team of the University Hospitals Leuven for their innovative use of  dexmedetomidine for sedation during imaging procedures, enabling more child-friendly procedures and reducing the need for full anesthesia.

Is your team working on initiatives that make medical procedures safer, less painful, and less stressful for children? We warmly invite you to submit your project.

How to apply

  • Deadline: June 1, 2026

  • Submit a short video (2–3 minutes) explaining your initiative (in English or with English subtitles)

A jury will select three finalists, who will present their project during the PROSA Conference 2026.

Could your team be the next winner?
We look forward to your submission!
