The Award

As part of their masters thesis as well as a training for conferences, our students visualize their research and results in a scientific poster. Supervisors are invited to submit eligible candidates. The submitted posters are presented to all members of TU Wien Informatics who then cast their vote.

Voters evaluate the candidates’ posters against a set of criteria, including the overall impression and message, adequacy of presentation of the topic (i.e. problem/motivation, method/procedure, results, and their respective evaluation), readability, flow of reading, orthography, and layout and design (text to image ratio, proportions, balance, scale, line, color, texture, shape, etc.).

The award is endowed with €500 and presented at the biannual Epilog.
