This year's took place over a 24 hour period from 2–3 March. Today we are excited to be announcing the winners.
Competition was high, with almost 900 posters from 62 countries, and we also saw the introduction this year of #RSCPosterPitch – short videos from our poster presenters. The entries in this new category were impressive – with pitches ranging from poetry to TV commercials as our participants thought creatively to bring their research to life.
Congratulations to all our winners!
