Poster prize

Jong KNCV Poster Competition

For years, the Jong KNCV poster competition has been the premier opportunity for young chemists to present their graduation or internship research to students, professors, and companies via a poster. All posters are displayed at the PAC symposium, where participants give a presentation on their work to an expert jury and the symposium attendees. Registration is open to all students of chemistry, life sciences, and chemical engineering at universities in the Netherlands.

Procedure

Als je mee wilt doen aan de posterwedstrijd moet je ook een kaartje kopen voor het PAC-symposium. Kaartjes zijn te verkrijgen via deze website. De wedstrijd vindt plaats in twee rondes. 's Ochtends gaat de jury in groepjes van twee langs de posters, en bepalen ze de top 6. Deze top 6 krijgt nog een bezoekje van de volledige jury, en voor de laatste plenaire lezing is de prijsuitreiking. Je mag je ook in tweetallen opgeven, maar dan zul je de prijs ook moeten delen. Meer informatie over de procedure vind je hier.

To participate in the poster competition, you must also purchase a ticket for the PAC symposium. Tickets are available via this website. The competition consists of two rounds. In the morning, the judges will visit the posters in pairs to select the top six. This top six will then be visited by the full panel of judges, and the award ceremony will take place before the final plenary lecture. You may also register in pairs, though you will have to share the prize. More information about the procedure can be found here.
