ITherm 2021 Virtual Student Poster and Networking Session Announcement

The organizing committee is delighted to announce that this year's ITherm will feature a live and interactive Student Poster and Networking Session that mostly represent a real in-person experience. The live poster session provides opportunities for students to present their research and get connected with academic and industrial representatives (June 1st- June 4th, 2021).

This "Student Poster and Networking Session" is open to all students who have an accepted technical paper. Interested students can apply using the poster application form

Students who apply will be competitively selected for poster presentation at the conference. Outstanding posters will also be selected for awards and will be judged based on technical merit, clarity and self-sufficiency of the content, novelty and originality of the work, overall impact of the poster display and oral presentation at the poster session. The poster awards are independent of the paper awards and the same work is eligible for winning both awards based on the specific judging criteria for each.

We strongly encourage all students who have or plan to submit technical papers to participate in the Student Poster and Networking Session and to utilize these opportunities to publicize their research and build their network. We look forward to your posters!
