2022 Fall Research Expo
We invite any Penn undergraduate who wishes to share their research with the broader university community to present a poster at CURF’s Fall Research Expo. We are delighted to be hosting the event in-person this year, on Monday, September 19, 5:00-6:30pm, in Houston Hall, and virtually on the Penn Presents platform.
If you’d like to participate, please fill out this form no later than 11:59pm on Sunday, August 28 to reserve a space for your poster and allow us to generate a program for the Expo. If you are presenting jointly with other undergraduates, only one person needs to register, but please list all undergraduate members of the group.
Your poster should be 24” x 36”, in either landscape or portrait orientation. We cannot accommodate other sizes due to space and easel restrictions. After registering, please bring your poster to the CURF office (3539 Locust Walk, 3rd floor) no later than Monday, Sept 12 so that we may set it up and have it ready for you to present on the 19th.
We also invite you to submit a digital copy of your poster and a link to a brief “elevator pitch” to the virtual Penn Presents platform, so that your hard work can be archived and accessible to the entire Penn community. Additional details below.
VIRTUAL POSTER REQUIREMENTS (for Penn Presents):
You will find detailed information when you log on at: https://presentations.curf.upenn.edu/event/fall-research-expo-2022, but in brief, here’s what you’ll need:
- If this is your first time submitting a poster to our virtual poster hall, make sure to fill out your profile as soon as possible, including a picture and class details, via the site menu or by visiting this link: https://presentations.curf.upenn.edu/user
- Your poster, in PDF format. All dimensions and orientations can be accommodated, but please keep the file size under 50 mb.
- Another copy of the poster, saved as a .jpg or .png this time. You should be able to do that in Acrobat or whatever PDF viewer you use.
- A high-level summary of your poster, as though you were submitting an abstract to a conference. This entry should be no more than 500 words, and less is almost always more!
- The link to YouTube or Vimeo where you uploaded your video summary/elevator pitch (no more than 3 minutes).
Note that you will be able to go back to your posters to modify them. However, you might not be able to see your draft immediately as we will be reviewing each submission. Any questions or concerns, please feel free to email aolson@upenn.edu.
