Abstract submission and prizes

Elsevier Early Career Research Poster Prize 

We are honoured to announce this year’s young researcher poster award, sponsored by the Journal of Environmental Psychology, published by Elsevier. 

The total prize sum is £250 and £50 will be awarded to the five best contributions.

Early career researchers are defined as no more senior than 5 years from PhD award. If you want to enter this competition please pick up the ECR visual from the conference desk and fix it in the top right hand corner of your poster board. Posters submitted by will be evaluated according to the following criteria:

• Quality of research presented (novelty, rigour, methods)
• Structure and clarity (ease of understanding)
• Use of figures, pictures and other visuals
• Creativity and design (attractiveness)
• Potential to evoke discussion (the little extra, e.g. critical evaluation, theoretical advance)

To achieve a high level of objectivity, the posters will be evaluated by an independent poster evaluation committee consisting of representatives from a variety of universities, fields of research and career stages. Contact Isabel Richter (isabel.richter@plymouth.ac.uk) for queries. We are looking forward to an exciting poster session on Wednesday afternoon.

Photo competition (creative and fun)

Can just one image embrace your ICEP talk or poster? Whether it's connectedness to nature, citizen science or pro-environmental behaviour, the #ICEP2019 photo competition will put your creativity to the test! We want ICEP delegates to capture and submit images which embody their presentation at the conference, with prizes on offer for those which exhibit the most imagination, artistic flare, and humour. Pictures can be candid or choreographed and need to incorporate a relevant Plymouth scene.

And this for the small print:

• Submissions will be judged according to how well they depict their chosen subject, and prizes will be awarded for three categories: most creative image; most artistic image; funniest image.
• The judging committee is a group of early career researchers at the European Centre for Environment and Human Health.
• Photos should be entered via email to Alexander Smalley A.J.Smalley@exeter.ac.uk with a short description of the project being depicted and location of the photo.
• Only one image is allowed per participant
• The image needs to include a relevant Plymouth scene (this can be outdoors, e.g., natural or built environment, or indoors, e.g., on campus)
• The image also needs to include the ICEP2019 logo in some way, e.g., by including the conference bag or showing it on your phone or similar.
• The competition is open to all, whether you’re a junior, mid-career or senior researcher, and it’s open to any topic
• The competition closes on Thursday noon (12:00) with prize giving at the conference dinner on Thursday evening (or we’ll find you on Friday if you can’t attend the conference dinner).
