Best Presentation Award

The organizing committee awards young scientists the "Best Presentation Award" for outstanding poster presentations. Applicants should be under 35 years old as of April 1, 2025. Presentations applied for this award will be reviewed by the organizing committee at the conference. Because the review is carried out for the poster presentation, the oral presenter also needs to prepare a poster presentation.
First-prize winners receive certificates and cash prizes. All other winners will receive certificates. First-prize winners are required to submit original research articles or technical reports to the academic journal “Mass Spectrometry.” All other winners are strongly encouraged to submit the above.
The submission guidelines can be found at the following URL.
