Frequently Asked Questions

  1. I do not intend to present a poster, but I would like to come and look at the posters on the day of the STEM Symposium (Tuesday, June 4th , 2024). Do I still need to register? Answer: No, only poster presenters need to register online, primarily because they need to be assigned a poster board number and to be provided with a lunch voucher. However, all members of the UCD community, students and staff included, are very welcome to attend our 2024 STEM Symposium without the need to register. The online link for the programme and the registration form is: https://www.ucd.ie/science/research/2024stemsymposium
  2. I am a postdoctoral research fellow. Am I eligible to register as a poster presenter? Answer: Yes, all postdoctoral research fellows in the UCD College of Science or the UCD College and Engineering and Architecture are very welcome to register and submit a poster abstract online. They will also receive a lunch voucher for the day of the Symposium. However, only posters submitted and presented by a graduate research student will be eligible for an award. Also, please keep in mind that this year the event has a strict maximum capacity of only 120 posters, the poster registration may be CLOSED as soon as this capacity will be reached during the registration window.
  3. I am a Taught MSc student. Am I eligible to register for the symposium as a poster presenter? Answer: No, this year the Symposium registration is only open to UCD STEM research graduate students (i.e., either PhD or Master by Research) and postdoctoral fellows (see above).
