The poster session is an opportunity to stay in touch with current Swiss research activities. Posters in the research area of global change will be awarded by a jury. The winners (students or post-docs) will receive a travel award of CHF 1000 each, which allows them to attend an international conference in the current year. The poster awards are sponsored by ACP, Future Earth National Committee and SAGW.

Posters can be submitted in the following categories:
