Student Poster Deadline September 18, 2017
The Rocky Mountain Chapter – AVS announces the call for poster abstracts for the Symposium to be held on Thursday, September 21, 2017 at the Doubletree Hotel, 8773 Yates Drive, Westminster, CO (PDF link here)
Areas of interest for posters include surface science, oxidation and corrosion, catalysis, thin films, adhesion, ceramics, electronic materials, optical coatings, vacuum metallurgy, plasma and fusion technologies, nanometer structures, space vacuum environments, energy technologies, environmental monitoring, flexible coatings, roll-to-roll vacuum, and other areas of vacuum-related science and technology.
The poster session is open to any student with appropriate material that they wish to present. To encourage participation we award cash prizes to the top three student posters. The prizes are $500 for first place, $300 for second place, and $200 for third place. Posters will be judged on their technical merit and the presentation of results. Contact us about student memberships!
Abstracts should be a Word document, single-spaced with 12 pt font, and less than one page in length. Template will be available soon.
