Graduate Junction Poster Competition

Graduate Junction International Online Poster Competition

The new and innovative networking website for postgraduate researchers and research staff, Graduate Junction, has recently launched a fantastic poster competition. This competition is one of the first of its kind as it is not only online but is accepting entries from postgraduates all over the world.

• The competition offers researchers the opportunity to practice key presentation and communication skills
• Offers the chance to share your research with an international community
• Win an iPod as well as a selection of cash prizes
• Top 10 posters will be displayed on the Graduate Junction website

The competition involves the researchers presenting their research in the form of an A1 poster aimed at a non subject- specific audience. The posters will then be judged by a panel of individuals, chaired by Dr Eleanor Loughlin of Durham University Graduate School, from both academic and non academic backgrounds including Dr Tennie Vielder from Vitae.ac.uk.

A public vote, where members of Graduate Junction will get to vote for their favourite poster, will also help to decide the overall winner.
