The ESE Poster Prizes, worth €500 each, are awarded to the four best posters on display at the annual European Congress of Endocrinology and were first awarded at the ECE 2007 in Budapest.
The ESE Poster Prizes are bestowed by the Programme Organising Committee to the presenting author of the four selected posters.
The selection criteria are based on the scientific content and on the quality of the poster presentation.
The presenting author must be a member of ESE and under 35 years of age.
The four awarded posters, 2 clinical and 2 basic, are selected from the top 10 clinical and 10 basic poster abstracts which attained the best ratings during the abstract evaluation process.
The winners will be announced, and will receive their prize money, at the ECE at the Poster Awards session.
