In what ways can submit your research?
Research Briefs
Set up like a flash talk, individuals will have 5 minutes to present on either written or proposed academic work. Presenters may indicate a request for more time during the submission process; however, we cannot guarantee we can meet this request, as it is dependent on the number of submissions we receive. Presentations can be empirical or theoretical and can follow virtually any format the author chooses.
Research Posters
Individual or co-authored academic posters on either written or proposed academic work will be hung during the Research Day. Over the lunch hour, participants are encouraged to explore and engage with poster presenters. Presenters will be given a surface area of approximately 48 inches high and 48 inches wide. If your poster is accepted, you can have it printed by submitting a PDF or PPT version of your poster to z.umn.edu/kinposter.
Lab Posters
Lab posters should outline the missions/goals of the lab, discuss recent accomplishments within the lab, and exciting/upcoming projects. Furthermore, please discuss lab opportunities and application process for undergraduate students. Lab posters will be given a surface area of approximately 48 inches high and 96 inches wide. You can have your poster printed by submitting a PDF or PPT version of your poster to z.umn.edu/kinposter.
