"The Academic Pin-up - How to make a superb poster" - 26th January 2005

by Sylvia Barnes

'The Academic Pin-Up: How To Make A Superb Poster' Dr David Donaldson, Psychology Cottrell 2B121, 2pm - 4pm 26th January 2005 Academics present their work in a variety of ways, from published papers to keynote talks. One very important but often neglected method of disseminating work is via poster presentations. This session will provide an introduction to the academic poster - how and why posters are used at conferences and meetings. Students will be provided with a selection of posters from real conferences and discussion will focus on what discriminates a good poster from a bad one. Rather than focusing on the mechanics of how to generate a poster, the session will be concerned with how to communicate clear, concise and relevant information to the intended audience. THERE ARE STILL A FEW PLACES LEFT FOR THIS SESSION - TO BOOK PLEASE EMAIL ME OR THE GRAD LIST Sylvia Barnes Secretary, Planning & Research Office Room 3B1 x 7041

Stirling Graduate Research School

by Wilma Ellis

The SGRS Steering Group have asked me to canvas the postgraduate student population for suggestions of ways in which SGRS could provide an enhanced service to Postgraduate Research Students at the University of Stirling. These suggestions would have to be within the remit of SGRS, which I have copied below, but your ideas would be warmly welcomed. Please do not reply to this email, but contact me direct on: wilma.ellis(a)stir.ac.uk Remit of SGRS The Stirling Graduate Research School was established in 1995 as an integral part of the University of Stirling's research strategy. That strategy is designed to help the University become one of the top teaching and research institutions in the UK. The development of a coherent and well formulated policy for graduate research forms a key element within the strategy. The objectives of the SGRS are: 1. To strengthen, support and provide focus for the postgraduate research community in the University, and enhance the provision for social, cultural, and welfare support 2. To foster academic contact between research postgraduate students in the University, with other students and researchers, and thereby enhance the research culture of the University 3. To co-ordinate the provision of generic research training 4. To disseminate models of good practice in discipline specific research training 5. To co-ordinate and stimulate other staff development activities relevant to postgraduate research students and supervisors 6. To facilitate the expansion of postgraduate research within the University Membership of the Steering Group comprises of Deputy Principal (Research) (Chair), Vice Deans (Research), and four student representatives from the student body. Student representatives are elected annually, and every effort is made to ensure representation from each faculty. This process is managed by the Research Services Officer. The representatives work closely with the Director and the Research Services Officer in planning SGRS activities to meet the needs of research students.
