The 2026 AIFST Research Poster Award

This award recognises a postgraduate student poster presentation of recent work that shares knowledge, fosters collaboration, recognises innovative thinking, and engages a scientific audience.

The challenge for students is to effectively communicate and justify the key learnings of their work to an interested scientific audience. 

The judges would like to thank all participants in the 2026 AIFST Research Poster Competition. They found the research topics encompassed a broad range of interesting and engaging subjects and spanned a wide range of disciplines. Posters were presented in a clear and eye-catching way with data presented in a thoughtful narrative.

The judges appreciate the effort that went into creating these posters and commend all the authors on their work.

Thank you to our 2026 poster partner -
