| Scope |
The Material Advantage student program is pleased to sponsor the Graduate Student Poster Contest held each year at MS&T. Graduate students are encouraged to present their graduate research experiences and utilize this opportunity to improve their communication skills. The work presented in the poster does not have to be performed at the student’s home institution, but could be, for example, from a project performed as part of a co-op experience or a summer internship.
Contest participants must satisfy the following qualifications:
* Authors must be full-time students who are pursuing a graduate degree.
* Authors must register to attend MS&T 2026 and be present to put-up and take-down the posters.
* Authors must be present during the scheduled judging in order to answer questions and discuss their work. (All contest entrants will be informed of the judging time in advance.)
* Posters should not exceed 3’ x 4’ (landscape) or 4’ x 3’ (portrait). If a poster exceeds this space, it will be neither presented nor eligible for the contest. (Authors will be assigned display numbers prior to the conference to designate where presentations should be posted.)
* Poster guideline information which links to the “Poster Scoresheet” and “Poster Competition Guidelines” will be available in mid-May under the Student tab at https://www.matscitech.org/MST26.
* Please do not submit the same abstract to more than one symposium for MS&T26. This means an abstract which has already been submitted to MS&T26 in a symposium (for oral or poster presentation) cannot also be submitted to this poster contest. An abstract can only be presented once during MS&T26.
First, second and third places will be given in the amounts of $250, $150, and $100 respectively. All graduate students are eligible to enter the poster contest. The winners will be announced at the student awards ceremony at MS&T.
You must indicate whether you are a graduate student as this is a requirement. Your abstract will be rejected if you do not complete this field.
YOU WILL ONLY BE ENTERED INTO THE GRADUATE STUDENT POSTER CONTEST IF YOU SUBMIT YOUR ABSTRACT HERE. |
