The Roland Frei Award

The Roland W. Frei Award was founded in 2003.

The Roland Frei Award is given for the best poster at conferences (co)organized by the International Association of Environmental Analytical Chemistry (IAEAC). The judgment is made by an independent committee appointed by the organizers of the respective meeting and should, when possible, include a member of the Extended Executive Committee of IAEAC. The choice of the awardee, who is the author of the poster awarded, should be based on the scientific value of the work as well as on the quality of the presentation and preferably go to young scientists in research and academia.
