More than 2 graduate students (mainly M1 students) from each laboratory are encouraged to join the event and give poster presentations/listen to presentations from other laboratories. Please deepen your understanding on research activities in the whole department. Your presentation to alumni is to show them recent research updates. (Here, the maximum size of poster is one piece of A1, that is, 8 pieces of A4. You can use your laptop alternatively, although using a projector is not allowed.) In Part II, alumni will give poster presentations on their ongoing activities. Since this part will be helpful for you to think about your future career, you are encouraged to interact with as many alumni as possible. Due to the limited capacity of the venue, some laboratories are not assigned to give presentations. Even so, you are encouraged to join the event and make academic networking.
