Winning Single Figure Presentations
Wiley, publisher of scientific literature, generously offered to award three prizes to the best single figure presentations. The 35 Single Figure Presentations which were presented during this event got quite some attention and skilled feedback - often leading to new insights or cross-pollinating with others. Picking 3 winners out of these wasn't an easy job. Nevertheless, the jury decided to award the prizes to the authors of these three posters:
- The International Journal of Quantum Chemistry Prize: Diabatization for van der Waals molecules by Tijs Karman
- The Journal of Computational Chemistry Prize: Energy flow in proteins using MD/Surface Hopping by Alexander Schubert
- The WIREs: Computational and Molecular Science prize: Perturbations and charge transfer by Ramón Alain Miranda Quintana
Special thanks...
We would like to mention a special thank you to the Laser Group from the university of Bristol for their funding of the webinar software.
