Poster Awards
Present your semiconductor research in person, discuss it with the people shaping the field, and be considered for one of two Best Poster Awards.
Why present a poster
A short, visual format built for direct conversation.
Get seen by the right people
Engineers, academics, manufacturers and technology leaders walk the poster hall in one room, at one time.
Hear technical feedback
Talk through your design, process or measurements with specialists who ask the hard questions early.
Find collaborators
A good poster starts conversations with groups who have the tool, the material or the application you need.
Be recognised
Every selected poster presented in person is considered for the two Best Poster Awards.
Best Poster Awards
Two awards, no separate application. Selected posters are judged on the day.
The review committee evaluates all selected posters presented at the conference and chooses the Position 1 and Position 2 winners. This is what the committee considers.
Research quality
Is the work sound and the evidence convincing?
Originality
What is new compared with current practice?
Technical significance
Does the result matter to devices, processes or systems?
Clarity
Can a visitor grasp the message in a minute?
Visual presentation
Are figures, tables and layout easy to read?
Effective communication
How well do you explain and discuss the work?
Who can present
