GLOBE Student Science Symposium at the 16th Annual Meeting

Goal: Highlight GLOBE student research at the 2012 GLOBE Annual Partner Meeting

Who: GLOBE Student teams recently completing research investigations.
 
What: The GLOBE Student Science Symposium is a celebration of student research. Each GLOBE Partner (Country Coordinator and U.S. Partner) may nominate one school or project for participations. Teams of up to three students will share their research project with the GLOBE community during the Annual Partner Meeting (16-20 July) either virtually or in-person. In future years, we hope this opportunity will inspire all GLOBE partners to conduct your own annual science fair competition in advance of the Student Science Symposium call for nominations.
 
When: Nominations from Partners are due no later than 15 May 2012. (nomination information below)
 
The Student Science Symposium will take place 16 and 17 July 2012 during the poster sessions of the GLOBE Annual Partner Meeting.
 
Presentations: Student research project presentations will take place during the GLOBE Annual Partner Meeting (16-20 July) either virtually or in-person. In-person projects will be shared during the Partner Meeting poster session on 16 or 17 July. All travel for in-person presentations must be provided by the Partner or school. The GLOBE Program Office is not able to support travel costs or expenses associated with attending the meeting. Student teams unable to attend in person will participate through a virtual poster session during the Annual Meeting via a pre-recorded presentation on display during the poster session. Students need not be available to present virtually during the sessions.
 
Nomination Criteria: Nominations may be submitted immediately and no later than 15 May 2012.
