2. Poster session:
We invite submissions for an online poster session that will be held during Session 2 (Thursday 11th June). Posters should be on any theme relating to methods in chemistry education research. Their focus should be on methodological considerations, or emphasise the methods used in the data being presented. Posters should be prepared as a .JPG file (for display on the website) and a text readable PDF (to link for reading high quality version), and emailed to aishling.flaherty [at] ul.ie by June 5th. Only registered attendees may submit a poster. Posters will be presented over two hours, with half the posters in the first hour and half in the second.
Note that the posters will be displayed openly on the internet and will be visible to all. For guidance on preparing online posters including subsequent publishing of work presented on posters, see the RSC Poster guidelines (scroll down the page a little to Tips and Tricks and FAQs): https://blogs.rsc.org/rscpublishing/2019/05/24/rsc-poster-2020/. Examples of online posters are available from the recent CLEAR conference: https://clearlabsymposium.wordpress.com/.
We look forward to welcoming you to MICER20 online!
