Open Podium week 2

Posted on by

A message from the Open Podium organisers:

Hello Everyone,

Here’s some info regarding the open podium.

The podium will be held on Wednesday and Thursday next week between 17:00 and 18:15.

To present you will need to send an abstract to Freya at freayey2018@gmail.com. 1/2 page is enough, optional bibliography (it does not need to be super formal). Send us also your name and where you study.

The talks will be 10 minutes long with 5 minutes for questions. This may be extended or shortened slightly depending on how many presenters we have.

Send us the abstracts by Monday before 17:00 and any slides or handouts you want projected by Tuesday 17:00.

Any printed material will be at your own cost.

Let us know if you have any questions,
Sandy
