6th Nansen poster awards

For the 6th time, APECS and Arctic Frontiers arranged the Nansen Poster Awards. During the 2020 Arctic Frontiers conference, 17 poster judges evaluated 28 posters. The evaluation criteria included the visual appearance of the posters, the content and presentation of data, the quality of research, and the skills of the presenter. The winners receive travel support and/or registration for an Arctic Frontiers conference during the upcoming three years.
