Student Poster Competition
The Student Poster session will take place in two parts:
- "Poster Slam" session where each student gives a 2-3' presentation on the topic of their poster. Students are allowed to show only one slide
- "Standard" poster session over the Lunch Break
The intent of these competitions is to encourage graduate students to present their research work and to interact with the TRIUMF user community at an early stage in their careers. Students should present the work and take primary responsibility for the content of the presentation as well as the written abstract.
There will be cash prizes for the best talks as judged by a committee convened by TUEC
1st place: $500
Honourable Mentions: 2 x $250
