This is the first call for posters for the Catalysis Club of Philadelphia’s annual Student Poster Contest to be held Thursday, October 21, 2010 at the Wilmington Holiday Inn, Naamans Rd and I-95 at 5 PM.
To enter, please submit a short abstract of your proposed entry before October 7, 2010 to Elizabeth Ross-Medgaarden (elizabeth.ross-medgaarden@lyondellbasell.com)
The competition is restricted to graduate students. Post-docs are welcome to present their posters but are not eligible for prizes. All poster presenters should be listed as the first author, and will be guests of the Catalysis Club for the evening. Catalysis Club members and guests will cast their votes for favorite poster; then a select panel of industrial judges will select the 5 best posters from the top 10 posters. A total prize award of $550 will be distributed between the winners; $150 will go to the overall winner and $100 each to the 4 other winners. The overall winner will be invited to present his or her work at the Catalysis Club’s annual symposium in May 2011.
The Catalysis Club of Philadelphia is very proud of this event and views it as one of the region’s premier opportunities for graduate students to showcase their work with the local chemical industry professionals. All graduate students whose work is either directly or indirectly related to catalysis science and technology are encouraged to submit entries.
