[Astro] [CAPT] Postgraduate Poster Competition

[Alfonso Aragon-Salamanca]

Dear all,

It is very disappointing that there are no Astronomy entries and only one from Particle Cosmology in this competition (see message below for details). Ella has told me that she is happy to extend the deadline until the end of Tuesday March 4th.

Let it not be said that astronomers and cosmologists aren't as good as other physicists at producing beautiful (and scientifically strong) posters!

Best wishes,

Alfonso

Hi all,

Entries are invited for the annual Postgraduate Poster Competition.

The competition is open to all postgraduate students in the School of Physics & Astronomy, and is sponsored by Cerca Magnetics.. Posters will be judged by representatives from Cerca Magnetics and by staff from the School, with substantial cash prizes for the top three entries.

The competition will be held on Wednesday 12th March 2025, in C14 (Physics Building), with public viewing from 3-4pm. Wine, soft drinks and nibbles will be provided. All staff and students are encouraged to attend.

The posters should be of the type displayed at academic conferences, but aimed at the level of a final-year undergraduate rather than a specialist in your own field. We had a fantastic variety of posters last year, and we look forward to seeing this year's entries. Your supervisor should be able to give some advice on the ingredients required for a successful poster. Posters from past four years can be found on SharePoint here<https://uniofnottm.sharepoint.com/sites/PhysicsPostgraduatePosterCompetition>, here<https://uniofnottm.sharepoint.com/sites/PhysicsPGPosterCompetition2022>, here<https://uniofnottm.sharepoint.com/sites/PhysicsPGPosterCompetition2023> and here<https://uniofnottm.sharepoint.com/:u:/r/sites/PhysicsPGPosterCompetition2024/SitePages/TopicHome.aspx?csf=1&web=1&e=DP3qBp>.

To enter a poster please provide a title and abstract with a maximum of 250 words by Wednesday 26th February, so that an abstract book can be prepared in advance of the day. We recommend that posters should be A1 size, as these fit best on our poster boards.

Posters can be printed using the Wide Format Printing service<https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/dts/equipment/print-copy-scan/wide-format-printing.aspx> managed by our external partner CDS - further details can be found at the at link here<https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/dts/equipment/print-copy-scan/wide-format-printing.aspx>. Printing by CDS usually costs around £2.50 per poster - this can be claimed back using the Student Expenses claim process with a project code from your supervisor. Please note that CDS make deliveries on Tuesdays and Thursdays only, you are advised to plan ahead and allow plenty of time, particularly since many others will also be printing posters.

On the day poster entries should be mounted between 12pm and 1pm. If you are unable to mount your poster during this narrow time window please contact one of the admin team, and we may be able to mount it for you.

If you wish to enter please fill in the form here<https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=7qe9Z4D970GskTWEGCkKHvYpPs-JmPtDrEWzaiIBN25UQlNNUVFaN1NCS0dBS1g1UjVWVklJR1U5Wi4u> with your name, research group, title of your poster and abstract.


Best wishes

Ella
