Whether you're a student, a researcher, or faculty our sessions provide opportunities to explore advanced research techniques, critically evaluate information sources, learn about open research and engaging with AI for research.
Posters: designing, presenting and networking
Posters offer an excellent opportunity for researchers to make their project visible to a larger audience, measure a project’s current progress, practice presenting their work and grow their network. Posters are a more informal style of presentation and this can facilitate discussion and learning, leading to new collaborations and relationships.
This specialised course focusses on creating and presenting impactful research posters. Emphasising design, clear communication, structure and good information visualisation principles, the content is delivered through a mixture of presentations from the instructor, group discussion and pracitcal exercises. Participants will learn how to effectively communicate their research in poster format, consider the time required to make a poster and start their own design.
