Judges
Three outstanding oral presenters will be awarded on the basis of evaluation
by the judges in each talk session (Long-Talk and Short-Talk).
Poster presentations will be also awarded by public vote.
Long-Talk
Judges listed below will give scores (0 - 10 points) to the presenters.
Evaluation will be categorized into two standards (total 20 points):
- Research - experimental design, significance, future prospects : 10 points
- Presentation - clarity, composition, discussion, confidence : 10 points
The Judges will give a comment on each talk as feedback to the presenters.
The best presenter will be awarded as the highest award,
the second and the third presenters will be awarded for excellence.
