GOR 10: Winner of the poster award

Five authors have won the award with their poster "Developing and Evaluating a Student Online Panel": Barbara Stiglbauer, Manuela Gamsjäger, Timo Gnambs, Bernad Batinic, Herbert Altrichter (Johannes Kepler University Linz). The poster points out the pros and cons of developing (design of website, marketing and recruiting of young people) a youth online panel in contrast to common adult panels. It also outlines some preliminary results of the evaluation of the project regarding panel quality - and discusses challenges emerging when implementing an online panel for youth research such as recruitment of young people. The sponsor SensorPro congratulates the authors on the award.
