Within the context of the new edition of our ITM 2025 congress, and under the Magapor-University of Zaragoza Chair, we held the 1st Scientific Poster Competition.
The aim of this competition was to encourage quality scientific production and to showcase the research activity carried out in universities and companies. Through this competition we have been able to make quality research visible, promote research talent and strengthen knowledge transfer.
From all the participants, 10 posters were selected and exhibited during the congress. These 10 selected posters were given access to the congress to attend all the presentations, as well as the lunches, allowing networking with participants from all over the world.
In addition, the 3 best posters were awarded financial prizes. The winners of these prizes were:
