Best Student Poster and Early Career Investigator Prizes

Prizes will be awarded for posters presented in the student poster session and oral presentations by early-career speakers. Participants eligible for the prize are current PhD students and early career researchers who recently obtained their PhD within the past 3 years. The prizes will be selected by the Scientific Program Committee (SPC) based on the following criteria:

  • Relevance and impact of the scientific work
  • Novelty and quality of the scientific work
  • Quality of the poster and oral presentation
  • Interaction and professionalism towards the IPC

Prizes will be awarded in the closing ceremony on the last day of the conference.

Student poster prize recipients will be offered the opportunity to make a 10-minute oral presentation on the last day of the conference to highlight the work presented in their poster. Awardees will be queried on Monday or Tuesday as to their availability to do an oral presentation.
