Riken Summer School

All participants must present a poster. The following prizes will be awarded to superior poster presentations: Prizes for Physics, Mathematical Sciences, Engineering, Chemistry, Biology and Medical Science. Note that *we will be asking poster prize winners to give a brief introduction of their research at the awarding session, using their Icebreaker document*.

Note: Poster presentation is not mandatory for RSRs, but if you wish to present a poster, please state so in the Inquiries column when registering for the event.

Pointers for Presentation

To help you prepare for your on-site presentation, here are some pointers for you to keep in mind. In short, keep the presentation short (within five minutes) and follow up with further information if your audience would like to hear more.

Poster Size

Please design your poster so it can be posted vertically (maximum size is A0, i.e. W 841mm × H 1189mm). Print it out and bring it to the venue. Push pins for attaching posters to the poster boards will be provided at the venue. After the event, be sure to take your poster home.

Logo

Note

You may change the content of the poster after deadline. The poster draft can be made without the logos but please make sure to include the logos when you print it out for the Summer School. Note that the “outline of poster presentation” and “poster draft” will be used as selection material for the poster prizes and will be sent to poster screeners. Do NOT forget to print and bring your poster.

Also note that we will be having the poster presentation on the 2nd floor of the Administration Bldg.(C00) where non-RIKEN visitors can potentially pass by (not many do but potentially can). The posters will be mounted on the first day and will remain there until noon on the second day. Although this is a closed event, we will have staff constantly at the venue during the event and photograohy is strictly prohibited on site (excl. PR photos by staff), we cannot control the area all the time or after hours. Hence, when preparing the poster, please be sure to let your lab head know of these conditions beforehand and prepare an appropriate draft.
