Outstanding Poster Award

The Outstanding Poster Award has been established in 2009, to highlight good quality posters presented at the EMS Annual Meetings.

As the goal of this poster award is to foster the clear communication of scientific content also to non-specialists of the presented topic, the emphasis of the evaluation is put on the attractiveness of the graphical representation and on the clarity of the text. Only posters which satisfy the communication criteria are taken into consideration for the evaluation from a scientific point of view. Find more details at the Terms for the Outstanding Poster Award below.

The EMS2025 outstanding poster award winner is Csilla Ilyés-Vincze, with a poster presenting the work by her and her colleagues: Adrienn Varga-Balogh, Ádám Leelössy and Róbert Mészáros from ELTE Eötvös Loránd University, Institute of Geography and Earth Sciences, Department of Meteorology, Budapest, Hungary and HUN-REN Centre for Ecological Research, Institute of Ecology and Botany.

“The eye-catching style of this poster and its intuitive structure met design criteria for the poster award. The committee also felt that the winning poster nicely aligns with the focus of the 2025 Annual Meeting, reflecting the growing use of AI/ML in atmospheric sciences and meteorological applications.

The committee also welcomed the novel, original and innovative application of weather data to the subject of beekeeping. The results have real, societal value and application in that the beekeeping community can draw on this work and, for example, apply it to publicly available weather forecasts to help optimise efficient beekeeping practices. The work is scientifically relevant, meeting the scientific criteria for the award and is published in a peer-reviewed journal.”
