Awards
The NAC10 Posterprize and the Vening Meinesz Award will be given during the plenary closing session of NAC10 on April 23rd, 2010 (16.15-17.00).
Posterprize
The NAC attracts about 300 scientists within the field of Geosciences. Most presentations will be in posterform. The top-three posters will be awarded with 250 € (first place), 150 € (second place) and 100 € (third place). The selection will be performed by the posterjury, formed by the chairman of the program committee and a member of the program committee and one of the organizing committee. The posterjury will use the following criteria for assessment:
- Lay Out – is your attention drawn or not?
- Accessibility – Is the explanation of the research readable for outsiders?
- Content – How much is explained in how few words, and does the text encourage to read on?
- Composition – Is there a clear build up of arguments/explanations
For winning the posterprize, it is required that the first author is present at the plenary closing session.
