The ECS General Student Poster Session competitions and awards are students’ opportunities to shine—and have their work reviewed by judges who are world-renowned leaders in the fields of electrochemistry and solid state science and technology. The awards identify and celebrate outstanding research by students from around the world, and help distinguish stand-out students for future academic and employment opportunities.
The Award
The ECS General Student Poster Session Awards are given to the best poster presentations at Society meetings. The award was established in 1993 to acknowledge:
- Quality and thoroughness of the candidate’s work;
- Originality and independence of the candidate’s contributions;
- Significance and timeliness of research results;
- Depth of understanding of the research topic and its relationship to the fields of interest to The Electrochemical Society.
If warranted by the quality of the presentations, one award is directed to the field of electrochemical science and technology and the other to solid state science and technology.
Nomination Deadline: Abstract submission deadline, bi-annual
Presented: Spring and fall meeting, annual
Recipient qualifications
Award recipients are students pursuing degrees at any college or university worldwide. Past recipients may reapply. Application qualifications are not waived if no candidate qualifies for the award at a given Society meeting. Candidates must submit the following to the General Society Student Poster Session Chair by the published date:
- Proof of enrollment in a degree-granting program (e.g., a letter from their thesis adviser);
- A meeting abstract describing the research presented in the poster.
Candidates must prepare a poster for presentation at the Society meeting where judging takes place. A student author must present the poster.
