Graduate Student Presentation Awards

MSc or PhD students who will be attending the Symposium and who would like to present their own research can be considered for cash awards.

• Oral presentations | Four $250 awards (two for MSc and two for PhD) will be sponsored by the North Pacific Research Board.
• Poster presentations | Two $250 awards (one for MSc and one for PhD) will be sponsored by Alaska Sea Grant.

Student talks and judging will occur during the regular daytime plenary sessions. Student posters will be displayed and judging will occur during evening poster receptions.

Slots are strictly limited to 15 minutes, including time for questions and transition to the next speaker -- which means that you effectively have 10 minutes for your talk. See our tips for giving a great talk at the Symposium.
