In honor of Kirsti Lagerspetz, ISRA co-founder and contributor to aggression research, the Lagerspetz Awards are given at each biennial World Meeting to junior scholars who deliver either poster or podium presentations. To be eligible for a Lagerspetz Award, a presenter must be either a student in a terminal degree program or a person who is within two years of having completed a terminal degree (e.g., Ph.D., M.D., J.D.). Recipients of the award must be the first author of the paper or poster presentation. Awards (5 for oral presentations; 5 for posters) are made at the end of the World Meeting. Recipients of the award will receive a certificate documenting the award and a cash honorarium.
