The Poster Competition

The Poster Competition provides an opportunity to expose and discuss novel work in particle technology, and an opportunity to meet others with overlapping interests. An author of a limited number of posters will have the chance to give a short 'elevator pitch' (5 minutes maximum) to introduce the work to the conference in advance of the poster sessions. All poster presenters are automatically entered into the poster competition, with prizes for the best poster and runner-up.

N.B. The poster size is limited to a maximum width of 1 metre. Posters can be A0 in size ONLY if they are portrait in orientation. Posters A1 is size can be portrait, or landscape, in orientation.

1. Lee Birmingham University, Positron emission particle tracking (PEPT) as an efficient tool to study twin screw wet granulation process
2. Kojima Cambridge University, Incipient flow properties of two-component powder systems and their relationships with bulk density and particle contacts

Location

The poster competition, company stands, tea, coffee and other refreshements will take place in the Informal Meeting area within The Departments of Chemical and Material Engineering, which can be viewed here.

This is a very light and open place and it is a very short walk, across the road, from the main lecture hall in The Electrtical Engineering Building.
