SummerFest '06: Summer School Student Poster Session

Student Poster Submissions Now Closed

Thankyou to everyone who submitted a title and abstract for the Student Poster session. A review of the submissions has now been completed and all successful presenters have been notified.

The aim of the HCSNet Summer School poster session is to help students get to know one another and to hear about research and hot topics in a range of disciplines. The poster session will be held on the evening of Monday 27 November with plenty of food and drinks to keep the atmosphere lively, informal and social. Along the way, we hope you’ll get to know your peers and receive useful feedback on your own research ideas.

The general idea is for the posters to convey who you are, where you are and what you are doing. No need for intricate, time-consuming designs or laminating! In fact we will do all the printing, so no need for you to produce a hard copy. We’ve created basic templates in MS PowerPoint that should help you to put the 8 x A4 poster slides together quickly and efficiently (see below). It’s fine if you wish to use an alternative to MS PowerPoint but please keep to the basic design, headings, a maximum of 8 x A4 slides, and a font size that can be read easily from a distance. If you have questions, drop an email to the Summer School coordinator Kate Stevens.

Poster Templates

There are two templates to choose from: one for students who have commenced research and have results to report (see 'With Results' below), and another for students who have not yet collected or analysed data, or who are undergraduate students (see 'No Results' below).

Simon Zwarts has produced a LaTeX style file you can use to produce PDF slides if that's easier for you than PowerPoint.

Please note that we must receive your electronic poster presentaton Friday October 27, 2006 to ensure we have enough time for printing. Please email your electronic presentation to the SummerFest Organisers by this date and we look forward to seeing you there!
