Research Poster Exhibition

Research Poster Exhibition 2021 | Previous Exhibitions

The Research Poster Exhibition is co-organized by the CUHK Library, the Graduate School and the Independent Learning Centre (ILC). It is organized usually annually for all current CUHK postgraduate students to showcase their research work in the form of posters for the following aims:

• to facilitate postgraduate students to present their own research to the broader university community
• to provide participants opportunities to enhance their poster presentation skills

Features:

• All CUHK postgraduate students are invited to submit their research poster abstracts in response to our call that will be announced usually around March/April.
• Research posters in different disciplines are welcome.
• Selected research posters will be displayed in the University Library during the exhibition period. Electronic posters will also be displayed on an online platform.
• All participants are requested to present their research content orally to a panel of judges. Prizes will be awarded to best poster presentations. The Oral Presentations and Award Ceremony will move to online in 2021.
