Thank you for visiting the Rising Stars portal.

The Rising Stars program of the Academy of Science, Engineering and Medicine of Florida (ASEMFL) recognizes early-career faculty at the Assistant Professor Level in academia or junior-to-mid-level professionals (less than 15 years in initial independent position) in industry, non-academia non-profit, or government, who work and/or live in Florida and whose innovation and scholarly achievements demonstrate exceptional promise in addressing critical scientific, engineering, and/or medical challenges. The ASEMFL annual meeting is intended to provide a framework for Rising Stars to be publicly recognized, to offer valuable networking opportunities between Rising Stars and members of ASEMFL and the National Academies, and to promote active engagement of our Rising Stars with ASEMFL’s mission and programming.

At the ASEMFL Annual Meeting in November 7-8, 2025, held in Orlando, all Rising Stars will receive formal recognition and are expected to give 3-minute “rapid-fire talks,” showcasing their innovative research and significant contributions using a single, high-impact slide. Full participation in the two-day meeting through attendance at all conference sessions and networking events is an expectation of Risings Stars, and a requirement for the conference fee to be waived and travel costs to be covered.”

Deadline for Submission is August 1, 2025. Please submit the following information.
