POSTER AWARDS

During the 4GPCRnet International Symposium, a selected jury composed of invited speakers and abstract presenters evaluated all exhibited posters. The evaluation was based on the following criteria:

  • Scientific Novelty
  • Poster design – composition and use of space to set out the research
  • Words and visuals – how well do they complement each other?
