Results of the RMBS Contest 2017

Students Contest

All students were included in the contest, even if they elicited not to participate.

For the written competition, 36 papers were reviewed as part of the paper acceptance process: each paper was reviewed by two judges. 28 judges expressed their preferences in the written competition and they reviewed between three and five papers. The written scores were normalized for each judge and the total score for each paper was the average of the normalized scores.

At the symposium, 20 presentations (four students were not present at the conference) and 10 posters were judged (2 students were not present to discuss their poster). One student presented three papers, and another one poster and one paper.

17 judges expressed their preferences in the presentation competition. Not all students were evaluated by the same judges and not all of them received the same number of votes, but each presentation was judged by at least 11 judges. The scores were again normalized for each judge and the total score for each presentation was the average of the normalized scores.

Four judges expressed their preferences in the poster competition. As for the presentations, the scores were normalized for each judge and the total score for each poster was the average of the normalized scores.

For the special awards, four judges were involved. Each judge subjectively selected and ranked up to five students as the possible winners of their special award.
