All undergraduate and graduate students at Clarkson University are invited to participate in the Summer Research and Project Showcase (RAPS). RAPS provides students a forum for presentations of research and independent projects, or other educational activities such as internships, co-ops and study abroad experiences. The goal is to celebrate all forms of scholarship and to provide an opportunity for a broad audience to appreciate work by Clarkson’s undergraduate and graduate students.
Students may give an oral and/or poste presentation. Undergraduate oral presentations are 12 minutes each, including time for questions, while graduate oral presentations are 15 minutes total. Posters are given in a combined session lasting 90 minutes.
The event is scheduled for 8:15 AM to 1:30 PM, with check-in starting at 7:30 AM. Participants are expected to attend for the whole morning of presentations and the closing lunch and awards ceremony. For more information, please see https://www.clarkson.edu/research-projects-showcase-raps.
Registration: Online registration form and draft abstracts are due by Friday, July 12 at 12:00 PM.
New this time – There are separate registration forms for poster presentations and oral presentations. If you are doing both a poster and an oral presentation you must complete two registration forms. Please seehttps://www.clarkson.edu/RAPS-Submissions for registration form and instructions.
Awards: There are awards for the best oral presentation in each session and for the best poster in each category, as decided by faculty judges. There is an audience award for best poster and awards for best poster(s) in sustainability.
