Local Round of SPWLA’s International Student Paper Competition (ISPC)
Poster Presentation & ISPC Eligibility: The National Workshop BMES-2026 will host a dedicated Poster Presentation Session, inviting poster abstracts across a wide range of themes listed under the General Categories. Participants may submit abstracts under any of these themes to take part in the poster session. In addition, select specific themes identified within these general categories have been designated as ISPC-eligible themes. Posters submitted under these specified themes will automatically be considered for evaluation under SPWLA’s International Student Paper Competition (ISPC), in accordance with SPWLA guidelines. No separate submission is required for ISPC consideration. While all accepted posters will be presented as part of the poster session, only those falling under the identified ISPC-eligible themes will be counted for the local round of SPWLA’s International Student Paper Competition (ISPC).
