Best Student Paper

The EIPBN Best Student Paper Award is an annual competition that highlights outstanding student contributions and fosters the next generation of leaders in the EIPBN community. The competition includes two categories:
  • The Best Student Poster Award will be given to the best poster presentation based on technical content, visual organization, and Q&A.
  • The Best Student Presentation Award will be given to the best oral presentation based on technical content, clarity, and Q&A.

All student presenters are automatically entered into the competition. A team of judges, selected by the Steering Committee, will evaluate the presentations and posters of the finalists during the conference. The Best Student Poster Award winner will be announced during the banquet, and the Best Student Presentation Award winner a week after the conference.
