Poster Competition
There will be a Poster Competition in this symposium to prompt the engagement of students and young professionals in the activities of TriDurLE. The Poster Competition is open to full-time students and young professionals. Each student or young professional may submit only one abstract as the lead author. The posters should include the TriDurLE logo and may include your university’s and funding agency’s logos. The posters should be prepared by students/young professionals based on their own research work. Advisor(s) and co-worker(s) of students/young professionals may be included as co-authors; however, students/young professionals must be the lead authors and the posters must be presented by the competing students/young professionals at the workshop.
Creativity and originality in presenting the technical contents of the posters are encouraged. Any topic related to this year’s theme – “All serve to inform strategies for adapting infrastructure to extreme hazards and other emerging risks” is welcome to present. Based on the reviews of the presentations, an “TriDurLE Best Poster Award” will be given to the winner(s) team. If you are interested in participating the poster competition at the annual symposium, please submit your one-page abstract via the link on the right.
