The RSS conference poster exhibition gives early career researchers the opportunity to present their research at conference in the form of a poster, all of which are exhibited in the main breakout area throughout the conference. There is also an allotted poster reception which gives the authors a chance to talk about their work with conference attendees.
With more than 70 posters being presented, the RSS 2022 International Conference in Aberdeen last week had one of the largest poster displays seen at the annual event.
The three best presentations were rewarded with book voucher prizes worth hundreds of pounds kindly provided by CRC Press.
