Several days prior to the presentation, each presenter should submit a PDF file for his/her presentation to the 111th SRD Meeting Organizing Committee via email (srd111@shinshu-u.ac.jp).

  • 9. Qualification and Evaluation for the SRD Outstanding Presentation Award
  • Age of candidates should be 32 or less as of 1st April 2018. There are two separate categories (category 1 for student members and category 2 for young regular members) in the award competition. For the latter category, no situation limited: e.g., salaried or unsalaried, regular staff or not, full-time or part-time worker, degree (bachelor, master or doctor). The person who engaged the position beside scientific activities can also apply. However, once awarded in the past, he/she cannot apply within the next 2 years.
    Evaluation: the abstracts (long version) prepared for the primary evaluation are reviewed by several experienced members of SRD. In each category, 5-6 applicants will be selected and make presentations in the competitive oral session for the final evaluation, which will be held on September 13 (Thu). The several presentations will finally be selected for the award by the evaluators (councilors of SRD).
