YOUTH RESEARCHER AWARDS
To celebrate and encourage the work of young scientists, the Scientific Commitee of the ENSE Forum will recognize outstanding contributions in two distinct categories:
Youth Researcher Award for Oral Communications
This award will honor the most compelling and impactful oral presentation delivered by a young researcher.Youth Researcher Award for Poster Presentations
This award will be granted to the best poster presentation delivered by a young researcher.
These awards aim to highlight the talent and dedication of emerging researchers and to promote high-quality scientific exchange among the next generation of professionals. Winners will receive a certificate in recognition of their achievement.
We look forward to discovering and rewarding the innovative research being conducted by young minds in the scientific community.

Evaluation Criteria
Each of the following criteria will be evaluated by the scientific committee on a scale from 1 to 5.
The final result of each candidate is the sum of the values in each criterion.
In the case of a draw, the highest rating in the order of the criteria will be used to break the situation. If there is still the same result, the researcher with the most recent date of birth will be favoured.
