About this prize
The JEOL Student Lecture Competition was started at the ESR Group Meeting at Lancaster University in 1997. In subsequent years the lectures have gained huge popularity and prestige. There are three or more 20 minute lecture slots allocated for these lectures at the Annual International Meeting and the winner is chosen by the Committee.
The competition is open to PhD students and to postdoctoral researchers in their first year of work. The winner of the competition is presented with a monetary prize and an engraved medal from JEOL.
To be considered for the JEOL competition, please indicate that you wish to enter the competition when submitting your abstract for the Annual International Meeting.
The lectures are judged by the ESR Group Committee on the basis of both the scientific content and the quality of presentation.
