[Postgrad] Fwd: University Research Day 2014: Call for Poster Abstract Submissions

[Robert Martin]

Dear All,

University Research Day will this year take place on Thursday 19^th June 
2014 in the Barony Hall.  As part of the day, PGR students are given the 
opportunity to present their research via a poster presentation, with 
the top 4 poster presenters being awarded a prize of £250, presented to 
the winning students by the Principal.  I have attached further 
information about the poster presentations and the training that is 
provided to support this.

We are currently trying to promote this initiative to all PGR students, 
and it would be greatly appreciated if you could forward the below email 
and attachment to all your staff (Research Directors & Supervisors) 
within your department and ask them to encourage their PGR students to 
take advantage of this opportunity.

It is an excellent opportunity and previous winners have went on to 
claim poster prizes at major events including SET for Britain at 
Westminster. Please note that the students will receive 8 PGR credits 
for participating in this training and that the deadline for receipt of 
their abstracts is 24th March 2014.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Many thanks for your help,

Best wishes

Dear Colleagues,

Now in its 8th consecutive year, the University of Strathclyde Research 
Day is a one day event celebrating Strathclyde’s research achievements, 
as well as providing an opportunity for the interdisciplinary sharing of 
good practice in research and a vehicle for promoting effective 
collaboration.

As part of Research Day 2014, we welcome the exposition of current 
research by postgraduate research students, with cash prizes of £250 
awarded to the four top rated posters. Winning posters will be those 
that demonstrate excellent communication of the justification and 
outcomes of the research to a non-specialist audience.

Poster presentations at URD 2014 are open to all postgraduate research 
students. Space limitations mean that only the top 100 abstracts will be 
selected through a peer review process. Poster training sessions are 
offered to the 100 successful presenters.

Candidates are required to submit an abstract of up to 300 words on the 
work they wish to present at the University Research Day, with 
successful candidates being invited to present a poster at University 
Research Day on the 19^th June 2014.  All abstracts should be submitted 
via the on-line submission form, which can be accessed from the website 
at: http://www.strath.ac.uk/researchday/. Further information about the 
day can also be found on the website and in the attached document.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us at researchday at strath.ac.uk 
<mailto:researchday at strath.ac.uk> if you have any comments or queries.

Best wishes
