The Vitor Almada Award is the society prize for best student talk. It is never easy to select one from the great talks we had from students!

There was so many great posters and the decision for the best poster was hard.

The best poster award goes to João Grave, with the work "Indirect effects of cleaner gobies on fish grazing and benthic community structure" .

Well done and congratulations! 🥳
