How to apply

Those wishing to be considered for the award should check the box for the Best Student Poster Presentation Award when submitting a general abstract.
  Depending on the number of applications, the selection will be made in two stages: preliminary round (pre-selection of abstracts) and final round (selection based on poster presentations at the conference).
If there are more than 75 applicants, approximately 75 will be selected in the preliminary round, and if there are fewer than 75, all applicants will be reviewed in the final round.
Applicants will be notified whether they are eligible for the final round in the notice of acceptance of general abstracts.
In the final round, applicants will present their poster to the judges during the designated presentation time (3 minutes for presentation, 2 minutes for Q&A). Applicants will be evaluated based on (1) presentation, (2) research, and (3) contribution.
  The President of the meeting will invite approximately 15 reviewers, mainly past winners of the Japanese Society for Cell Biology Young Scientists' Excellence Award.
  Award winners will be announced at the banquet, and certificates will be presented at the reception on the third day of the conference.
