Students (including graduate or Ph.D. students) presenting outstanding posters could be awarded the IATSO Poster Award. All first-author students presenting a poster at the 13th IATSO conference in Porto, Portugal (September 3-6, 2014 at the University of Porto) are eligible to compete for this award. Successful students will be awarded financial support (1st place: 500 € and 2nd place: 250 €).

During the poster session at the conference a scientific jury, consisting of IATSO board members and members of the IATSO scientific advisory committee, will select the winning posters. The choice of the jury will be based on scientific excellence of the abstract and on the presentation of the scientific information on the poster.
