Best Poster and Trojan Horse Awards 2018
22nd ETH-Conference on Combustion Generated Nanoparticles
June 18th - 21st, 2018 at ETH Zurich, Switzerland
Every year the most accomplished poster presentations at the ETH Nanoparticles Conference (NPC) are 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 their scientific content.
Best Poster Award Committee
- Oliver F. Bischof, TSI (Chairman)
- Prof. Dr. Heinz Burtscher, FHNW/IAST
- Prof. em. Dr. Peter Gehr, University of Bern
- Dr. Adrian Hess, PSI
- Thomas W. Lutz, ETH/LAV
- Dr. h.c. Andreas Mayer, TTM
- Prof. Barbara Rothen-Rutishauser, AMI, University of Fribourg
- Dr. Norbert Heeb, EMPA
In 2018 the three best poster presentations were once again recognized by award certificates and prize money. The best-rated poster received SFr 600 (approx. $610 US), the second SFr 400 (approx. $405) and the third SFr 200 (approx. $200).

The Assosiation «Ärztinnen und Ärzte für Umweltschutz» AefU (Doctors for the Environment, Switzerland) strongly supports clean air measures. Special concern is given to a correct evaluation of the impact of different pollutants on scientific ground. Experts consider, that the harm caused by combustion generated ultrafine particles (UFP) is widely underestimated. Monitoring and elimination of this pollutant is urgent.
