Poster Awards for EUCHIS Conferences

The European Chitin Society will provide poster awards for posters presented at EUCHIS-meetings. The prizes were for the first time awarded at the 10th ICCC/7th EUCHIS conference in Montpellier in September 2006, and will also be awarded at the 9th EUCHIS conference in Venice in May 2009:

1^st prize: Euro 500
2^nd prize: Euro 300
3^rd prize: Euro 200

The awards will be decided by an award committee. The following criteria with respect to the poster presentation will be evaluated:

1. Scientific quality
2. Quality, structure and organization of the poster presentation

The awards will be announced at the EUCHIS conference where the poster was presented, and the award will subsequently be sent to the presenting author of the poster presentation. It is the responsibility of the authors of the awarded poster to reach an agreement on dividing the awarded money among the authors.

A summary of the awarded poster presentation together with a brief personal profile (including a photograph of the winner) are to be submitted by each prize winner to the EUCHIS secretary for publication in the EUCHIS Newsletter.
