The cMDIS Annual Research Symposium will be held on 7 December 2018 (Friday), between 8:30am-5:00pm, at the Heffner Alumni House.
The event showcases and celebrates research in the Rensselaer Center for Materials, Devices and Integrated Systems (cMDIS). All members of cMDIS and/or users for cMDIS facilities (graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, visiting scientists - if you are not a member we welcome you to join – please contact Jennifer Tedesco at tedesco@rpi.edu) are invited to submit abstracts to share their research through oral and poster presentations.
The program will include oral and poster sessions, an “Art-in-Science” competition, and a networking session. Breakfast, light refreshments and lunch will be provided.

Abstract Submission Deadline: November 7, 2018 (Wednesday)
Please see the abstract template at the end for instructions.
A scientific committee will review the abstracts and you will be notified one week after submission deadline for the duration and time of your presentation or dimensions of poster board. It is typically 12-15 min oral presentations. All abstracts will be compiled as an abstract booklet and made available to the participants at the symposium.
Abstracts must be prepared as a .pdf file for electronic submission.
For a successful abstract submission and to avoid errors:
- Use the template provided.
- Spell check your abstract
- Check the spelling of contributors’ names
- Check your abstract length
- Decide on the theme
- Decide on the presentation type (Oral or Poster Presentation or Any)
Awards
Prizes will be awarded at the symposium for selected presentations.
Visualization of data is a powerful way to convey complex information. In the contest, submissions of artwork that express scientific principles, concepts, ideas, processes and/or structures will be evaluated. The contest is not limited to micrographs or images; any printable artistic representation of scientific data is relevant.
Judging will be based on both scientific significance and artistic impact of the work. All images should have a connection to your scientific research.
Submission information:
1. All images are required to be electronically submitted as .pdf or .tif file by November 7, 2018 (Wednesday).
2. All images submitted must include a short title.
3. You will be notified of further instructions to display your work. A short description (50 words or less) of the technique used, the object that was imaged, and any special conditions will be presented with the image.
Awards:
A prize will be awarded at the symposium for one work.
