Posters / Presentations:

Presentation of research results is a key factor used by ERSP program managers to evaluate annual research progress. As the PI for your project, you should plan to present your research group's latest results (or in the case of new PIs, your plans for future research) as a poster presentation. Each ERSP project poster will have a dedicated 8’ wide X 4' tall poster board at the meeting. The project poster must include the contributions of all co-PIs. Student Travel Fellows (see below) will be expected to present their research results as a separate poster presentation.

A number of representative projects will be invited to make an oral presentation; an ERSD (now CESD) program manager will contact you if your project has been selected. In addition to platform presentations and poster sessions, the meeting will include breakout sessions on special, crosscutting topics. You are encouraged to send ideas for breakout sessions to Mike Kuperberg at Michael.Kuperberg@science.doe.gov as soon as possible. We look forward to your ideas!

We look forward to seeing you in April 2008 at the National Conference Center.
