ESBiomech24 Congress in Edinburgh

ESB Poster Award

The ESB Poster Award is given at each ESB Congress with the purpose of raising the quality of poster presentations at the meeting. The selection is made by an ad hoc Poster Award Committee appointed by the ESB Council and chaired by the ESB Awards Committee Chairperson. The award consists of a certificate for the winner and an amount of 300 €.

For consideration, the candidate must submit, electronically, an abstract through the portal of the yearly Congress. Nominations for the ESB Poster Award will be based on abstract scoring. Only ESB member in good standing by the time of abstract submission, who must also be first author of the abstract accepted for a poster presentation, can be nominated. Please check your membership and payment status before submitting your abstract.

For detailed information on eligibility and the selection procedure, please refer to the Awards Regulations.  If you need clarifications, you may contact the Awards Committee Chair.


Instructions for 2024 Yearly Congress:

In order to enter the competition, applicants must submit their abstract through the online Congress submission portal and submit the required files. If the abstract is accepted as a poster for the 2024 Congress, the application will automatically be taken into consideration. Abstracts assigned for poster presentation will be selected based on scientific merit, and will enter the reviewing phase for the award.

To qualify for the award, the conference management team will need to check your eligibility against the ESB membership database, and may share your information with the ESB Council, in order to do this.

CONGRATULATIONS to our 2023 winner!
