Posters are an essential element of PASC17 as they provide the ideal opportunity for exchange of ideas and expertise within and between the various scientific disciplines represented at the conference.
Presenters had the possibility to “pitch” their posters to the conference audience in a rapid-fire flash session held before the two-hour scheduled poster session. Posters with the most stimulating content were recognized in an award ceremony on the final day of the conference.
Here you can find the winners of the awards among the 48 posters present at PASC17.
