EFC Poster Prize
presented at EUROCORR
Following a proposal from the Science and Technology Advisory Committee (STAC), back in 2010 the EFC implemented a new award for the best poster presented by a young author with less than 13 years of professional experience (incl. PhD) upon time of the EUROCORR.
The Poster Prize is presented every year at the EUROCORR Conference and its aim is to encourage the submission and exhibition of more high quality posters carried out by young corrosion scientists and engineers, including PhD students, post-doctoral researchers, etc.
The winner agrees that their name and affiliation will be published on the EFC's website and social media channel(s). The winner also agrees to be interviewed by the YoungEFC and to the publication of this interview on the EFC's website and social media channel(s).
The Prize, which is based upon the decision of a STAC-appointed Jury, consists of a certificate and the sum of 500 euros.
