Best Student Presentation Award

At the SETAC Asia-Pacific biennial meeting, students can apply to have their presentation entered for consideration in the Best Student Presentation competition.

Application Instructions

Students can indicate their desire to participate in the competition when they submit an abstract for the SETAC Asia-Pacific biennial meeting. To qualify for consideration, the first and presenting author of the presentation must have an active SETAC student membership (free, explorer or full) at the time of abstract submission. The presentation must be work conducted by the author as a student, while still a student.

Eligibility

Applicants must be:

• The first and presenting author of the submitted abstract
• A student (B.Sc., M.Sc. or Ph.D.) at the time of abstract submission
• Register for the meeting by the early bird registration deadline
• Only one abstract per person will be accepted. If authors submit multiple abstracts for consideration, only the first submitted abstract will be taken into consideration

Selection Process

The SETAC Asia-Pacific Board of Directors oversees this competition. Abstracts are reviewed and given a score based on set criteria (abstract rubric). Top scoring abstracts get accepted into the competition. Authors will need to register early to confirm participation. The committee will then assign each presentation three judges who will view the presentation at the meeting and score the presentation considering various aspects (presentation rubric). Winners are announced as soon as judging is complete.

Award

Award winner will receive a certificate and a complimentary registration to attend the following SETAC Asia-Pacific biennial meeting.
