LIVE Student Presentation Prize
Category: Current
Each year the LIVE Centre gives undergraduate students the chance to win some funding to assist them with attending conferences and symposiums. Undergraduates are encouraged to write abstracts and posters to present at upcoming conferences and then submit them to the conference body for consideration. If successful, the LIVE Centre will then offer the students upto £250 towards their conference registration or travel fees.
The LIVE Centre funds three of these awards each year, one per term. Often there is more than one submission per term and the LIVE 'judging panel' must select who to award that terms funding to. It is important to highlight that these Student Presentation Prizes are all aimed at Undergraduates, funding for Undergrads is limited therefore giving LIVE the opportunity to try and fill this gap.
One award will be given for each term (though on occassion we have been able to increase this number):
- 2019 Autumn Term (Sept-Dec)
- 2020 Spring Term (Jan-Apr)
- 2020 Summer Term (May-Aug)
This prize is restricted to RVC undergraduates only.
Once you have received confirmation that your project/poster has been accepted for presentation at an upcoming conference, then you should email your abstract/poster to Sonal Shah sshah@rvc.ac.uk , Your work will then be judged accordingly, depending on when the conference is, it will be entered into either the Autumn, Spring or Summer term.
