RESULTS

As part of the 2021 Call for Proposals, the GDRV scientific and clinical expert committee (*) evaluated four duly submitted research projects. A project arrived late.

The “1st Prize” was awarded to the project entitled:

Involvement of the endocrine system in vestibular function and dysfunction

Proposed by Dr Rhizlane El Khiati, ENT surgeon Mohammedia, Morocco and doctoral student affiliated to UMR 7291 CNRS-AMU.

The committee particularly appreciated the medical interest, the innovative character and the benefits in terms of diagnosis and follow-up for the patient. Dr El Khiati from LNC will be awarded € 1,000 in support for this project in the form of a payment from the CNRS Foundation.

 

The “2nd Prize” is awarded to the project entitled:

Oculomotor compensation in vestibular deficit: a multisensory integration model?

Proposed by Dr Ruben Hermann, ENT surgeon and affiliated with CRNL (Inserm U1028 – CNRS UMR5292 – Université Lyon1) IMPACT team.

The committee particularly appreciated the scientific nature and the methodology employed which allow us to hope for a better understanding of vestibular compensation mechanisms. Dr Hermann of the CRNL will be awarded a grant of € 500 in the form of a payment from the CNRS Foundation.
