Presentation of scientific work on a poster is an essential part of the scientific program of the HPLC Symposium Series. A poster is an efficient way to disseminate, share, and discuss the results of liquid phase separation research, progress in new instrumentation and separation method development, applications in life science research, (bio)pharmaceutical product R&D, for the safety and authenticity of consumer goods, in forensics, and environmental monitoring and protection with one’s peers. The HPLC symposium series invites academic, institutional, and industrial researchers to share and discuss the results of their work with delegates. The Best Poster Award (BPA) provides a stimulus and incentive for all scientists to attend the HPLC Symposium and present their research results on a poster. But primarily and for all, the HPLC Symposium Series intends to foster young scientists and encourage them to take the opportunity to present their work at the symposium as a starter in their international scientific career.
The awards will consist of a certificate and a monetary gift. The top ten winners will be awarded $500 each.
To take part in the BPA competition, authors must actively opt for participation when submitting an abstract for a poster presentation. Maximum two submissions per author are allowed.
An international panel of scientific peers, headed by a chairperson, will review the participating posters.
Best Poster Award Chairmen
The reviewers will be evaluating all participating posters using the following criteria:
In the first round of evaluation, reviewers will nominate one poster presentation in the set they judge for a second-round review. The review will be during the designated poster session. The authors of the nominated posters will present in a final poster session on Thursday morning.
The awardees will be announced and called to the podium in an honorary session on the last day of the symposium. Awardees who are absent unexcused at the honorary ceremony will lose their award. All nominees not awarded will receive an honorary mention certificate for their achievement in the second review round.
