Awards and honours overview
Awards and honours will be conferred during the CIRSE 2026 Opening and Awards Ceremony.
Gold Medal
Gold Medallists have made outstanding contributions to the practice and science of interventional radiology on an international scale. National contributions and clinical excellence alone shall not be sufficient. Gold Medallists also have significantly promoted the image and impact of the society by personal influence and international recognition.
Distinguished Fellowship
Distinguished Fellows have made exceptional contributions to the practice and science of interventional radiology.
Honorary Lectures
Each year the two Honorary Lectures, the Andreas Gruentzig Lecture and the Josef Roesch Lecture, are given by scientists whose contributions to IR, the development of interventional radiology and CIRSE are widely recognized. Honouring the late German radiology legend Andreas Gruentzig, this eponymous lecture has been given by some of IR’s most outstanding representatives upon invitation from the CIRSE Executive Committee. Since its introduction in 2003, the Josef Roesch Lecture has been given by a number of prominent interventional radiologists who have taken this opportunity to reflect on the status of interventional radiology and its various treatments.
2026 CVIR Editors’ Medal
The CVIR Editors’ Medal is presented to the first author of an outstanding paper published in CVIR the previous year. The winning paper is chosen by the Editor-in-Chief, who takes into account recommendations made by the section and regional editors. The Editors’ Medal is not only a prestigious award in its own right, but is also accompanied by a monetary grant for the winning authors. This substantial contribution makes the CVIR Editors’ Medal one of the most prestigious prizes awarded by an international journal, and we hope that it will encourage even more IRs to submit their work to CVIR.
2026 CVIR Endovascular Editors’ Medal
The CVIR Endovascular Editors’ Medal will be presented for the first time this year in Copenhagen to the first author of an outstanding article published in CVIR Endovascular the previous year. The winning paper is chosen by the Editor-in-Chief, who takes into account recommendations made by the section and regional editors. The Editors’ Medal is not only prestigious awards in its own right but is also accompanied by a monetary grant for the winning authors. This substantial contribution makes the CVIR Endovascular Editors’ Medal a prestigious prize awarded by an international journal, and we hope that it will encourage all specialists working in the field of endovascular treatment to submit their work to CVIR Endovascular.
