On Friday the 28th of February 2003, the third edition of the Young Marine Scientists' Day took place. In Brugge young scientists and marine professionals met each other. The young scientist had the opportunity to show their work in a scientific poster to the audience. The best poster was chosen by a professional jury and the audience. The winner went home with the award of best poster of the year.
