Conferences and Poster Presentations

A conference is a great way to present your research. It is very common for a conference committee to require prospective presenters to submit an Abstract. A conference abstract is:

• A brief, clear summary of the information you plan to present on.
• A way for reviewers to identify the basic premise of your research quickly and accurately, so they can determine if it is relevant to the audience (for instance, conferences often have an overriding “theme”).

(Refer to Module 3 for tips on how to write an Abstract.)

A poster presentation is another common way for researchers to showcase their work. CRI has created a poster template that you may wish to use, available on the portal or upon request.
