Awards

The 13th EPITA Symposium will feature a session called the EPITA Prize, where the highest-scored abstracts will be presented. The session will occur on 30 January, from 14:00 to 15:00 CET. A panel of independent jury members will evaluate the presentations, and the one with the highest score will receive an award of 1500 EUR.

Moreover, there will be a poster competition as part of the event, and the best poster will be awarded 500 EUR. All delegates are invited to participate in the poster-scoring process. To do so, they can scan the QR code available in the poster area to access the scoring system. The posters will be rated based on their scientific merit, innovation, and presentation quality.

To provide an opportunity for delegates to interact with the presenters and discuss their research in detail, a dedicated time slot for the formal poster viewing has been arranged. The poster viewing will take place on Monday, 29 January, from 18:00 to 19:00 CET. We highly recommend attending this session to make the most of your experience and contribute to this exciting competition. Therefore, we encourage you to take part and help us identify the most exceptional research presented at the event.
