Presenters who identify themselves as youth (< 35 years)  as part of their registration in the Global Conference on Aquaculture Millennium +20 will automatically be entered into a poster competition. Winners have a chance of receiving travel funding (please note the availability of this award will depend on the realities of global travel in September).

Winners will also receive an opportunity to present a “lightening presentation” during a plenary session on the last day. This is an opportunity for young researchers to present to a large audience. Winners will also be invited to prepare a brief article for the FAO Aquaculture Newsletter and will have their names included in the Conference Proceedings. Additional prizes may be arranged at a later date.

Registration for the conference is free. Youth poster applications close 31 March.
