Pacifichem 2010 will once again conduct a Student Poster Competition.
Participation in the Student Poster Competition was indicated during abstract submission to Pacifichem 2010. No additional student poster candidates can be considered at this time.
In order to qualify as a candidate for the Student Poster Competition, the following criteria needed to be met:
Candidates must be a full time under-graduate student (pre-PhD).
Candidate abstracts must have been accepted as a poster presentation (oral presentations have been excluded from the Student Poster Competition).
Pacifichem 2010 received 2070 qualifying Student Poster Competition applications as indicated by the applicants during abstract submission. Given such a large number of applications, the Scientific Program Subcommittee reluctantly decided to pre-select 240 first-round finalists (approximately 12 % of the total applications) that will be eligible to participate in the Student Poster-Competition Session to select the 40 award winners based on the following criteria: novelty and importance of the research, and quality of the written abstract.
Please see the General Schedule and Prescreening Notice that describes how the Student Poster Competition will occur over the next several months leading up to the the Pacifichem 2010 meeting in December.
Acceptance Notices will be sent to all 2070 accepted candidates for the prescreening will be distributed in late June, 2010.
