Vote for your favourite GSAS21 scientific poster!

From the first day of the Global Symposium on Salt-affected Soils (GSAS21), participants will be asked to give their opinion and vote for their favorite scientific poster. GSAS21 participants and their colleagues will select the winners of the poster contest by voting for their favourite by actual 'liking' their choices. The three best scientific posters will be announced on the last day of the Symposium (22 October 2021) and win soil-related prizes.

*PLEASE NOTE: You can vote for more than one scientific poster. However, one person can give only one vote for each single poster.
