The Energy Sector invites abstracts from younger members from academia and industry for a competition for posters to be displayed during this event. The top 30 abstracts, as judged by an Energy Sector Technical Review Committee, will be invited to give a short elevator pitch presentation and present their poster at this event. Prizes will be awarded for the best presentations/posters. For RSC members the prizes will consist of a 1st Prize, (£250), a 2nd Prize, (£100), and 3 x 3rd Prizes of £50 each.
