Poster Awards
ACSIN-16 & ICSPM-34 Poster Awards will be offered in the two categories on a competitive basis: “Student Award” and “Young Researcher Award”.
If you are a young student, you can apply for both awards. However, if you win the Young Researcher Award, your application to the Student Award will be automatically withdrawn.
You can apply for these POSTER Awards even if you prefer an ORAL presentation for the paper.

When the paper is assigned as a poster presentation against your preference, it will be nominated for the award(s).
