StuCon-2023
To all members of the Research School of Earth Sciences and beyond,
We are pleased to formally announce the upcoming StuCon-2023, a student-led conference that has been meticulously curated to provide participants with a platform to showcase their research and achievements.
We extend an invitation to all students—whether undergraduate, honours, masters, or PhD—to participate in this esteemed event. Your involvement will undoubtedly contribute to the academic richness of the conference.
We anticipate your participation and look forward to the academic exchanges that Stucon 2023 will surely facilitate.
Conference Segments:
- Oral & Poster Presentations: A segment allowing students to present their significant research findings.
- Bake Your PhD: Warm traditional RSES event wherein participants are encouraged to represent their research in the medium of baked goods. This section will be evaluated by Vice Chancellor Brian Schmidt, Dean of ANU College of Science Kiaran Kirk, Deputy Dean of Students Dr Jenni Bettman and Pro Vice-Chancellor (Education and Digital) Maryanne Dever.
- Unearth Your Science: A new addition, giving students the opportunity to depict their research using non-traditional methods, be it through art forms like painting or diorama, crafts, or through performing arts.
Event Information:
- Venue: Foyer & Auditorium, Research School of Physics, 60 Mills Rd
- Date: 21-22 September 2023
- Meals: Morning and afternoon teas, along with lunches from Uproot Food and Asian Street Food will be provided on both days of the conference. Meals will only be provided to registered attendees.
