Science Atlantic Undergraduate Research Award
Science Atlantic Science Communication Award
The Science Atlantic Undergraduate Research Award and the Science Atlantic Science Communication Award are offered at each of the annual Science Atlantic-sponsored student conferences.
Acadian Forest Region Award
The Acadian Forest Region Award is awarded annually at the Science Atlantic Environment Conference for the best oral or poster presentation of undergraduate student research relating to the flora or fauna of the Acadian Forest region. For the purpose of this award, student research on Boreal Forest in Newfoundland and Labrador will be eligible as there is a large overlap of species.
Judging
Each award will be decided by a majority vote of the judging committee (determined annually at each conference). In the event that there is no undergraduate presentation which meets the criteria it can be awarded for a graduate presentation. At any conference, if there is no suitable candidate, the judging committee has the right to not give an award.
The decision of the judges is final.
The Award
The Award is $200 Canadian.
By accepting the prize, the winner agrees to have his or her name, presentation title, and abstract provided to Science Atlantic and the sponsor.
