The presentation will be judged on the quality of the research work presented, measured against the potential value in terms of further development and practical application. The clarity of the logic, the clearness of the presentation and the degree to which the young scientist is seen to have been responsible for the work will also be taken into account. Additionally the manner with which questions are answered at interview and/or after their presentation in the Conference will also be taken into account.
