At this IDM2026, the poster session is sponsored by Universe (an open-access journal published by MDPI). Thanks to this sponsorship, three prizes have been awarded to the best poster contributions (one Best Poster Award and two Accésit endowed with 220 € and 110 € each, respectively.).
The Best Poster Awards were determined based on the evaluation of an expert committee and the popular vote cast by conference participants throughout the event. The expert committee's evaluation accounted for 60% of the final score, while the popular vote represented the remaining 40%.
The expert committee was composed by:
- Jacobo Asorey Barreiro (CAPA - Universidad de Zaragoza)
- Nicolao Fornengo (University of Torino - INFN Torino)
- Gloria Luzón Marco (CAPA - Universidad de Zaragoza)
- Elisa Ruiz Chóliz (Laboratorio Subterráneo de Canfranc - LSC)
