The UKEMS Presentation Award
This award is presented to a UKEMS member aged 30 or below who is judged to have made the best contribution at the UKEMS annual meeting, either through a poster or platform (oral) presentation.
The Committee will select three judges in advance of the meeting and adjudication will encompass both the scientific content and clarity of the presentation.
Eligible persons should be undertaking postgraduate or postdoctoral research in connection with a University or Higher Education College at the time of deliberation. This will include those working in industry that are registered for a higher qualification with an external educational institution.
The award consists of:
- A certificate
- Up to £500 towards travel, registration and accommodation expenses at an international meeting, where the recipient is to present a poster or platform presentation.
The winner will be expected to provide a brief report summarising the highlights of the meeting, for publication in the next UKEMS Newsletter.
Assessing eligibility
In order to assess eligibility, for all abstracts and posters, authors will be asked to underline the name of the lead (presenting) author, and abstract forms will contain a declaration:
"I declare that at the time of the meeting I am a UKEMS student or postdoctoral member and will be aged 30 or below and thus eligible for consideration for a Young Scientist Award."
