Best Poster Awards 2017
21st ETH-Conference on Combustion Generated Nanoparticles
June 19th - 22nd, 2017 at ETH Zentrum, Zürich, Switzerland
The most accomplished poster presentations at the ETH Nanoparticles Conference (NPC) will be rewarded with a Best Poster Award.
The poster committee evaluates all posters on their design, clarity of the presentation - both of the poster and also when talking to the presenter - and scientific content. The three best poster presentations are recognized by award certificates and prize money. In 2017 the best-rated posters will received a prize money of CHF 600 (approx. USD 600) for the first, CHF 400 (approx. USD 400) for the second and CHF 200 (approx. USD 200) for the third ranked poster.
