Hans-Flohr Awards

FARCO-PHARMA promotes the next generation of urologists.

FARCO-PHARMA’s long-standing association with urology is also reflected in the Hans Flohr Awards. In memory of the long-standing Managing Director of FARCO-PHARMA, who passed away in 2023, the Hans- Flohr Awards will be awarded for the first time this year and will then be awarded annually to young doctors who are training to become urology specialists.

An original scientific paper that has been accepted and published by a medical journal within the last year can be submitted. The award will be given in honor of one basic research project and one clinical research project. The Hans-Flohr Awards are 2,000 euros each.
The award winners will also receive an invitation to the C. E. Alken award winners’ meeting to present the results of their work. The award winners are nominated by the board of trustees of the C. E. Alken Foundation.

Hans Flohr was Managing Director of FARCO-PHARMA from 1969 until his retirement in 2006. Together with Prof. Dr. C. E. Alken and Dr. Erich Wolf, he was instrumental in the introduction of Instillagel. In 1999, he was honored by the German Society of Urology (DGU) with the “Promoter of Urological Science” award.
