The Society of Biomechanics and its partners offer a set of 5 Awards:

SB Poster Award: The Société de Biomécanique wishes to valorize the poster communications during its annual congress. It has set up, in partnership with JPK Instruments / Bruker, an award for the best poster presented at the annual congress of the Society of Biomechanics.

SB PhD Award: The thesis award of the Société de Biomécanique (1000 Euros) is sponsored by Biometrics, This award recognizes the doctoral work in the field of Biomechanics of a young Ph.D. researcher graduated from a French speaking university

SB Young Investigator Award: The Young Researcher Award of the “Société de Biomécanique” rewards with €1,000 a young researcher whose work quality and originality are recognized at the international level. The research field can be fundamental or applied, but should be in line with the research themes of the “Société de Biomécanique”.

"Jean Vives Award": The Jean VIVÈS prize was created in 2005 by the French National Olympic Academy. It has been organized since 2019 jointly by the French National Olympic Academy and Editions EP&S. The Jean VIVÈS prize rewards, in the amount of €500, the scientific excellence of a young French-speaking researcher in the field of sports biomechanics. This prestigious prize is awarded annually to a laureate who has demonstrated a high-quality start to their scientific career (maximum 5 years after the defense of the doctoral thesis) as well as a strong interest in applying their scientific research to field applications.

SB Award "Christian ODDOU": he Société de Biomécanique award “Christian Oddou” was launched in 2012 by the SB to honor the involvement of Professor Christian Oddou in biomechanics in general and to SB in particular. This award will be given to senior researchers who have contributed significantly to biomechanics throughout their careers. Candidates have to be nominated by SB members. The award includes a trophy and certificate, and all expenses during the congress will be covered. The winner will be requested to provide an award keynote lecture at the Congress of Biomechanics will take place from 25-27october in St Etienne, France.
