Poster Session​​​​​

The poster session took place on Monday, 18 November, from 17:30-19:00 in the W-Invite room and on Wednesday, 20 November, from 13:30-15:00 in the HugoTech room. Participants were invited to walk around and ask questions about the posters in the traditional format.

The posters were clustered according to the ESP Working Groups structure: Biome (B), Sectoral (S), and Thematic (T) Working Groups. Also, the Open Session (O) cluster was provided. Please see the poster book of abstracts here.

Poster prizes

All posters were automatically enrolled in the election for the best ESP poster award. Conference participants voted for their favourite poster using the conference app. During the closing session on Thursday, the top three posters were recognized and awarded prizes. Each author of the three Best Posters received a full publication waiver for One Ecosystem in acknowledgement of their innovative work and contributions to ecosystem health and sustainability. Additionally, the authors of the second and first-place winners were granted one year of free ESP membership, while the first-place winner received a full waiver for the registration fee for a future ESP conference of their choice, sponsored by Elsevier.
