- Presentations will be recorded
- Top presentations, as selected by the audience, will receive £50 from the RSC's Colloids & Interface Science Group
What's an "enhanced poster"?
Traditional posters are static and have limited space. In an "enhanced poster" you can build in animations, movies, interaction and effects. It can simply be a poster deconstructed into slides, or it could be a Prezi-style presentation or anything else that can translate to a shared video feed.Programme
