Criteria for Award Winners

The jury reviews the submitted abstracts and the posters exhibited during the Congress according to the following criteria:

3. Results: Results or accomplishments should be stated concisely and should relate to the original aim and objectives. Final results and accomplishments are rated more highly than interim reports.

4. Conclusions: Conclusions should address the aim and objectives and should follow logically from the results. The utility of the data and their potential role for pharmacy practice should be emphasised.

5. Poster: The poster should be in concordance with the text in the abstract. Qualities like readability on a distance, logic layout, balance between illustrations and text, are elements in the evaluation process.
