Poster Awards, worth €250 each, are awarded to the eight best posters (four clinical and four basic) on display at the annual European Congress of Endocrinology (ECE).
There is no application process. The top 15 clinical and 15 basic science/translational posters are reviewed by members of the ECE Programme Organising Committee (POC) during the congress.
-
The applicant will be the presenting author of the poster during ECE.
-
The applicant must be a current member of ESE and be within 10 years post-PhD or MD.
The eight awarded posters, 4 clinical and 4 basic science/translational, are selected from the top 15 clinical and 15 basic science/translational poster abstracts which attained the best ratings during the abstract evaluation process, based on the scientific content. During the congress, additional assessment will be made on the quality of the poster presentation. The Poster Awards are bestowed by the Programme Organising Committee (POC) to the presenting author of the eight selected posters.
Please note – it is not possible to be awarded both a Poster Award and a People’s Choice Award. The POC’s decision is final.
