Resources for Students Presenting at NGGS:

Oral Presentations:

Oral presentations are on the second day of the gathering (October 29). Each oral presentation will be a total of 15 minutes (10 minutes for presenting and 5 minutes for questions). Please adhere to this schedule. Students will be informed of their presentation time and session through the October 20th student package.

Poster Presentations:

The organizing team is happy to print posters free of cost for poster presenters, as travelling with these can be challenging. Posters can be picked up at the registration table on Day 1. Students should mount their own posters at their assigned spots. Before sending your poster to us, please ensure it follows the guidelines.
