Students presenting posters, when registering, can sign themselves to a 2 minutes – 2 slides  talk to promote their poster to the Thermo audience. They will participate to a challenge kindly sponsored by GeoSep, for the best presentation for each poster session.
The lightning talks will be held at the GeoSep corner, a dedicated area in the poster room before each session. The prizes will be assigned by the convenors of the related session.

Rules of the competition

  • Two static PowerPoint slides are permitted. No slide transitions, animations or 'movement' of any description are allowed.

  • No additional electronic media (e.g. sound and video files).

  • No additional props (e.g. costumes, musical instruments, laboratory equipment).

  • Presentations are considered to have commenced when a presenter starts their presentation through either movement or speech. 

  • The decision of the adjudicating panel is final.
