When is Queen Square Symposium 2019? - 31st May 2019
When during the day do I need to be free? - (9:00 – 17:00 with a social event from 17:00 onwards). If you want to enter the poster competition please ensure you are free at least between 9:00 and 13:00 to put up and present your poster.
Where will QSS 2019 be held? - Institute of Education, Jeffery Hall.
How will posters be judged? - A team of IoN, ICN and NHNN academic staff will be judging the posters. A team of two or three judges will be allocated your poster to judge and you should present your poster to the judges.
How do I present my poster? - Ideally you should be able to explain your poster to an academic (who may not be working in your area) in 5 minutes or less. Think about the main messages you want to get across and be prepared to answer questions about your poster. Judging styles vary; some judges may ask you to take them through the poster, others might read it themselves and pick out parts to discuss with you.
What do I do when I’m not presenting my poster? - You are free to look around other people’s posters and talk to them about their research – this is one of the main reasons behind the symposium.
When should I take down my poster? - You will need to take down your poster by 13.00.
When will the results of the poster competition be announced? - At the end of the symposium, a representative from the judging panel will announce the winners and runners up and the prizes will be presented.
Can my supervisor and other members of my lab come along to QSS? - Yes, all members of IoN, ICN and NHNN are welcome to come along to the poster competition and/or the guest lecture.
Can my friend/girlfriend/boyfriend/mum/dad/brother/sister/pet rabbit come to QSS? - Unfortunately we cannot allow non-UCL members to come to QSS. This is because of the sensitive nature of some of the work done at Queen Square. In addition much of the data presented is unpublished and thus not yet in the public domain.
What else happens during the day? - There will be talks throughout the day, and refreshments and snacks will be provided
