Å·ÃÀAV

The #Å·ÃÀAVPoster Twitter Conference is an annual online event held entirely over Twitter to bring members of the scientific research community together to share their research, network and engage in scientific debate.

Held online over 24 hours, the unique format removes the environmental and financial costs of attending a traditional conference, and helps scientific researchers share their work and network across disciplines, wherever they are in the world. 

Last year saw poster presenters from 59 countries sharing over 10,000 #Å·ÃÀAVPoster tweets to a potential audience of 32.1 million. This year you can submit a poster in one of 12 subject areas, from analytical chemistry to engineering. Posters win prizes if chosen by the subject chairs.

Register now to take part on 2 March at 12:00 UTC, and help us to spread the word.

#Å·ÃÀAVPosterPitch

New for 2021, we're delighted to introduce #Å·ÃÀAVPosterPitch.

At a physical conference, you would usually get the chance to stand next to your poster and give a quick presentation to the judges in person, highlighting the most important and exciting parts of your research in a quick, accessible way. #Å·ÃÀAVPosterPitch is designed to work in this same way, as a video pitch to accompany your main #Å·ÃÀAVPoster.

You can film yourself on any device, and upload in the captions alongside your poster together with the hashtag #Å·ÃÀAVPosterPitch. This can be done in any style, any language (although note that the Subject Chairs will be judging in English, so you might want to give an English version if possible) from a regular speech to a special song, just so long as it’s kept short (ideally no longer than 60 seconds) as our judges will have lots of posters to look at!

#Å·ÃÀAVPosterPitch is optional, so you don’t have to submit a pitch for your poster to take part in #Å·ÃÀAVPoster. 

#Å·ÃÀAVPosterLive

This year, we are excited to also be announcing #Å·ÃÀAVPosterLive, a series of live webinars accompanying the main poster event. These webinars will discuss some of the important issues faced by chemical scientists throughout their career.

For the 2021 event, the webinar schedule will be as follows:
11:00 UTC 2 March – Choosing Your Supervisor
12:00 UTC 2 March – #Å·ÃÀAVPoster Twitter Conference Opens - head to Twitter to see the first posters and upload yours!
14:00 UTC 2 March – Pathways to Professor
18:00 UTC 2 March – Mental health in Chemical Science

For more details, full speaker line ups and to register, please see the Linked event section

(Please note, registering for the webinars will not automatically register you to present a poster at #Å·ÃÀAVPoster and vice versa.)
