Results of the RMBS Contest 2023

All students and professionals were included in the contest and everybody attending the conference was invited to judge both presentations and posters, regardless of whether the presenter or the judge were a student.

No written competition was run this year.

At the symposium, all 16 presentations and 25 posters were judged, even if the presenter was not there (since they all sent in their prerecorded presentation or poster).

Nineteen judges expressed their preferences in the presentation competition. Not all presentations 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 sixteen judges. The scores were normalized for each judge and the total score for each presentation was the average of the normalized scores. After the scores were tallied up, the participants were divided into student and professional groups and the winners decided.

Nineteen judges expressed their preferences in the poster competition. Not all posters were evaluated by the same judges and not all of them received the same number of votes, but each poster was judged by at least six judges. 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. After the scores were tallied up, the participants were divided into student and professional groups and the winners decided.

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.
