Poster Assessment Guidelines

  1. Poster presenters will be available at their respective posters during the entire session to present their work and to address any questions from the adjudicators and participants.

  2. Adjudicators are advised to go through the abstracts before the poster session and to make a pre-selection of which presenters to visit during the allocated time. Please keep in mind that well written abstracts do not necessarily result in good posters and adjudicators are free to visit any of the posters present at the session.

  3. Presenters not available at their posters at the time of adjudicator visit will be forfeited from the competition.

  4. Adjudicators will independently grade the presenters and their posters using the following scheme:

  1. The adjudicators will discuss their ranking of the presenters at the end of the session and finally select the two best poster presenters of the session.

  2. The top two presenters of each session will be awarded the Certificate of Merit at the Award Session to be held on December 3, 2015 at 5:10 pm in Lecture Theatre 2, Cheung Kung Hai Conference Centre.

  3. Due to the tight schedule, please adhere to the programme and avoid overrun of the session.
