BayCEER Photo Contest 2023: Picture your research!

Take us on your journey... show us your traces...

We would like to make your research and you, as researchers, more visible – displaying the vast diversity of people and topics existent in environmental sciences! Show us what you love about your work, or what fascinates you about your discipline. Take us with you on the journey to laborious field stays, funny or tiring laboratory work, moments of reflection or collaborative work. Which thrilling new insights could you gain, which daily routine task must be done?

Let’s deepdive into unique insights of your research life by sending us your favourite photo and the story behind it! Feel free to submit realist and abstract photo compositions, and to draw a closer or looser link to one of the sessions of the BayCEER Workshop 2023:

1. Zooming in
2. Zooming out
3. Thinking sharp
4. Linking disciplines

The winners of each category will receive a price.
