25.04.2017 The European Ceramic Society AISBL
ECerS Student Speech contest 2017 (ECerS XV, Budapest, Hungary)
The student speech contest at the biannual ECerS conference is an event where
young research students, representing each of the ECerS member countries, are able
to give an oral presentation that is evaluated by a jury.
The presentation duration will be 15 minutes, followed by questions from the jury
and the audience.
Each member country of ECerS can send one (PhD, MSc, BSc) research student as
the candidate of their country for the ECerS student speech contest.
The oral presentation at the contest should be based on research work that the
candidate has performed himself/herself at a research institution in the country
he/she is representing.
Graduate representatives must be within their first five years of full time research
at the time of the speech.
If the representative is a PhD student, the candidate can participate in the
competition if he/she defends (or will defend) his/her thesis after September 1,
2016.
The candidate obtains free registration to ECerS XV
The national ceramic societies are requested to pay the costs for travelling and
lodging of their candidate student. The conference organizers have submitted a
proposal to the JECS Trust for (partially) reimbursing these costs. Decision on this
proposal will be taken by the JECS Trust board at the beginning of February 2017.
The national society will inform the ECerS educational working group as well as
the conference organisers not later than April 30, 2017 who will be the
representative of their country1.
The candidates should not register for the conference through the web page. Once
the national societies inform about their candidates, the conference organizers will
contact the candidate to give instructions about abstract submission, registration,
travelling and lodging.
