EPSC-DPS Outstanding Poster Contest (OPC)

Posters will be judged based on 1) the relevance of the study, 2) the scientific accuracy, as well as 3) the clarity of presentation. Participation is open to all BSc or MSc students, PhD candidates, as well as scientists that obtained their last degree after 1 January 2025.

Participants need to be first and presenting author of the submitted abstract (please note that a shared award with co-authors or team members is not possible) and register either as on-site or virtual participant. Each author can register only ONE abstract for the OPC at EPSC-DPS2025.

Both the abstract submission form and the letter of schedule will automatically contain a link to register for the EPSC-DPS OPC. The OPC registration is only considered for those abstracts that are selected to be presented as a poster. If the above-mentioned conditions of eligibility are fulfilled, you may sign up for the contest by 15 August 2025.

Please note, that all OPC participants are requested to upload a PDF of their poster by 3 September 2025, 23:59 CEST as "Presentation file" and "Supplementary material" in the presentation upload tool (only A0 posters are accepted for both on-site and virtual participants). Virtual posters will be printed in A3 and displayed in the poster session halls; on-site person posters need to be online accessible throughout the week of EPSC-DPS2025.

As a prize, each awardee will receive a registration waiver that can be used for either the EPSC2026 or EPSC2027
