ECR and Student Presentation Competition
A list of students and early career scientist presenting in each session will be given to the session chairs/co-chairs (below), along with evaluation forms for each presentation, during registration. The session chairs/co-chairs and the judges for each session recruited so far are listed here. Session chairs/co-chairs will need to complete the evaluations themselves or solicit other knowledgeable volunteers when need or conflict of interests dictates. Each presentation will be evaluated on the quality (technical content, technical knowledge of the material), as well as presentation delivery.
To ensure a robust evaluation, we strive for three evaluations for each presentation. Evaluations will be submitted through an online form by the end of the day. Evaluations performed for presentations on Thursday must be submitted by 6:00 PM Thursday evening.
An independent Awards Committee consisting of representatives from the planning committee, and other members of the scientific community as needed and when conflict of interests dictates, will review the numerical ratings and comments from the evaluations and produce a summary of the rankings. The Awards Committee will then select the top presentations from the student and early career scientist to be recognized and given a specific award. Awards will consist of three iPads and a number of other prizes donated by other professional organizations.
