Origins and Spirit of the Awards

Created in 2025, the poster awards aim to encourage participants to choose this convivial format, which helps illustrate the scientific and technical discussions taking place during breaks. It is also an ideal format for preliminary results, such as those obtained during a Master’s internship. This explains why our awards most often recognize young researchers.

In 2026, a new award was introduced into the competition: the Best CFD Visualization Award. This award is intended to be playful, while also providing an opportunity to illustrate our Books of Abstracts in a relevant and elegant way.
