The selected authors were invited to the ICPerMed Conference 2021 and were given the opportunity to present their results during a plenary session to stakeholders interested in the area of PM. In addition, the successful candidates will receive a non-cash support for the dissemination of the best practice example by the ICPerMed Secretariat in the value of € 500. The aim of this dissemination is to provide the winner with an opportunity to seek supplementary dissemination activities that will accelerate and maximise the potential impact of the research findings and learnings gained on best practice on PM.

The proposals in fourth position were invited to present a poster of their work during the ICPerMed Conference 2021. These are:
