Awards

To encourage the participation of young scientists in training, awards will be granted to trainees for best abstract submission. The awards will consist of a cash prize and certificate.

Award applicants will be judged prior to and during the conference. Winners will be announced during one of the conference’s sessions, where they will receive a certificate from the conference organizers.
