Presentation Awards
Best Poster: 1. Place: 150€ (donated by Biomol) ; 2. Place 100€ (donated by the GGL); 3. Place 50€ (donated by the GGL).
The posters will be evaluated by a poster commission consisting of doctoral candidates and supervisors from all sections.
The main criteria will be: content, intelligibility, layout/presentation.
Best Talk: 1. Place: 150€; 2. Place 100€; 3. Place 50€ (donated by Elsevier).
The talks will be evaluated via online voting by the complete audience.
Criteria:
- Content: How informative was the presentation? Did the speaker present interesting results as well as all other information needed to understand the outcome of his or her research? Was the amount of information just right, too much or too little?
- Presentation: How well designed was the presentation? Were animations used to emphasize the results or to divert attention. How well did he or she present the talk orally? Did he or she speak loud enough and at an appropriate speed? Did he or she grab your attention or bore you? Did the speaker make an effort to interact with the audience?
- Intelligibility: Did he/she make an effort to explain important terms? Was there a story that you could follow throughout the talk? Did he or she explain what his/her results mean and why they are important? Where tables, graphs and images sufficiently labelled and explained and were they large enough to understand them quickly?
GGL Picture Award
We are also going to award the best photograph for the following 3 categories:
1. Laboratory work (depicting work in your lab, e.g. member of your team using a specific instrument)
2. Research (images of your results such as cells, gels etc. depicting an aspect of your work)
3. Student Life (conferences; retreats; visits to other labs; what are you doing when you relax?)
Pictures will be exhibited on our website at the GGL conference, evaluated via online voting from all GGL members and awarded prizes of 50 € for each category.
