“Rising Star in Nanoscience & Nanotechnology”: The Best Presentation Awards

During the IEEE International Conference on “Nanomaterials: Applications and Properties”, the Conference Awards Chair and Technical Program Co-Chairs will identify the best presentations in each oral and poster technical session. The following evaluation criteria will be taken into account:

- Presenter's breadth of knowledge in his/her field: 5 points;
- Clarity of the presentation and communication skills: 4 points;
- Technical quality of the materials (e.g. slides): 3 points.

The winners will be announced during the Closing Ceremony and will be awarded the “Rising Star in Nanoscience & Nanotechnology” Award Plagues and personalized Certificates. Eligibility: While all early career (under 35 yo) attendees are eligible, a strong preference will be given to full-time graduate/undergraduate students.
