 For the Green Infrastructure Student Research Poster Award, submissions are made directly by students, reflecting the educational and early-career focus of this category. The submission must be made by the student who is the primary author of the poster. The award is open to master’s and doctoral students worldwide, as well as recent graduates within the last 12 months. 

Any author or co-author of a research study may nominate it.  A third party who does not contribute to the work may also be a nominator, but in this case, the nominator must notify the main author of the work if possible.

In cases where the poster is based on a multi-authored or previously published study, the student’s leading contribution must be clearly demonstrated.

Posters will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

• Scientific and technical quality
• Originality and innovation 
• Relevance to green infrastructure
• Impact potential and societal Relevance
• Clarity of content and effectiveness of visual communication
• Overall coherence and quality
