ESTSS warmly congratulates former ESTSS President Professor Miranda Olff on receiving the 2026 ISTSS Lifetime Achievement Award.
The Lifetime Achievement Award is the highest honour bestowed by the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies. It recognises an individual whose career has made exceptional and sustained contributions to the field of traumatic stress.
Professor Olff was selected in recognition of her outstanding achievements and enduring influence across the field. Her work has made significant contributions to research, clinical practice, strategy and policy, as well as to the broader advancement of knowledge and care related to traumatic stress.
Professor Olff will be formally honoured during the 2026 ISTSS Annual Meeting, where she will deliver the Saturday morning keynote address, entitled “Sex/Gender and Trauma in a Troubled World – A Global Issue?”
As a former President of ESTSS and a longstanding leader within the international psychotraumatology community, Professor Olff has played an important role in advancing collaboration, research and professional exchange across Europe and beyond.
The ESTSS Board and wider community extend their warmest congratulations to Miranda on this highly deserved recognition.
