Applications not adhering to the award criteria will not be judged. Applications adhering to the award criteria will be forwarded to the Scientific Judging Committee (SJC).
The SJC will review the NIA papers and shortlist the finalists’ pre conference for the oral and poster competition categories. The finalists will usually be restricted to a maximum of 8 presentations in each category; however the SJC may, in justified cases, advance additional papers to the finals.
