The IS3NA Poster and Travel Awards committee will evaluate all the regular applications before the Early Bird registration deadline. The winners of the Travel Awards will be directly contacted by e-mail and will have to confirm the award acceptance. As a general rule, only one application from the same lab will be accepted; should supervisors send more than one recommendation letter, they will have to indicate the priority order of the applicants. The winners of the IS3NA Travel Awards for the XXV IRT cannot apply for the IS3NA Poster Awards for the same conference.
