The American Geophysical Union (AGU) knows that presenting scientific findings at conferences is an essential skill for students as they build their portfolio. Virtual Poster Showcase (VPS) allows this opportunity to students who cannot travel in person to a conference. Student submissions to AGU’s online platform include an abstract, a video, and a poster. Participating students also complete a peer-review process. Select students will proceed to the expert judging phase.
Abstract submissions for the Undergraduate Student Showcase and the Graduate Student Showcase are now open. Students from all educational institutions are encouraged to submit their research in one of the following five divisions: Atmospheric Sciences, Earth Sciences, Environmental Sciences, Ocean Sciences, and Planetary and Space Sciences. Participants do not need to have an AGU membership. Faculty members are encouraged to include VPS in their future course plans. Those who are interested in incorporating VPS into a course, research, or capstone experience in future showcases should email [email protected]. Visit virtualposter.agu.org to watch a video, learn more, and submit your abstract. Abstract submissions close Monday, 13 March, at 11:59 p.m. EDT.
