Behind the minutiae of data, texts, and experiments, we researchers are often propelled by a deeply elegant unifying idea. This “Art of Research” symposium is devoted to unveiling the creative art behind the words, numbers, and figures. We want you to share the beauty of your research.

All Penn graduate students are invited to submit abstracts for posters or oral presentations to share their work at the symposium. As with a typical research conference, you are encouraged to present the latest and greatest of your research work in a rigorous and academic way. But there is a twist. You must also present the art of your research. Share the passion of your work with others who may have no prior exposure to your topic.

Guidelines:

Two formats are available for presentation: poster or short oral presentation. Posters should be no larger than 36” width by 24” height. Oral presenters will be allowed 7 minutes to speak, plus a brief period for question and answer (use of PowerPoint will be supported but is not required).

When you submit your abstract, please indicate the type of presentation you would like to make. We will try to accommodate all requests for oral presentations, but may need to switch some people to posters due to time constraints. You will receive a response to your abstract by Monday, March 1.

To encourage participation and quality, faculty members from departments across Penn will act as judges. A prize of $500 will be offered for the top submission, and additional smaller prizes will also be awarded. Judgment of posters will be largely determined by the presenter’s ability to convey the art of her or his research.
