The Oxford Cryosystems Low Temperature Prize is awarded to the best poster describing applications of or developments in low temperature crystallography. The winner will receive a prize of two hundred and fifty pounds sterling donated by Oxford Cryosystems. The posters should be judged by an independent panel of judges selected by the meeting chair. Oxford Cryosystems does not take a role in the judging panel and has no input whatsoever on the judges decision.
CCDC Poster Prize:
The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre is proud to sponsor poster prizes for young scientists at the 24th Congress of the International Union of Crystallography. CCDC prizes are awarded for original research in chemical crystallography, including advances in instrumental, experimental or computational techniques or applications of small-molecule crystallographic information to work in structural chemistry, molecular modelling, materials design, structural biology or chemical informatics. The awardees should be within 10 years of their final degree and must be the presenting author.
NanoMEGAS Poster Prize:
NanoMEGAS Poster prize is awarded to the two best posters describing applications or developments in the field of electron crystallography in material science. The amount for each poster will be seventy five Euros (75 Euro X 2 posters) and will be given directly to the winners.
