Share your research and creativity
The Frank Einhellig Interdisciplinary Forum showcases graduate student research and creative works through oral, poster and performance presentations. These presentations are designed for a mixed audience, so jargon is minimized and explanations are clear.
Presentation categories
You can present your research though an oral presentation, a visual poster or a performance. Learn details and tips for presenters.
Oral presentations - in person or virtually
You will have 12 minutes to present followed by 3 minutes for audience questions. Please load your presentations on the room computer prior to the day's presentations.
Virtual presenters will be sharing their prepared materials and talking to the IDF attendees through Zoom. Please contact the Graduate College by March 16th for information on how this will work.
Poster presentations
Your poster will be hung between 7:45 and 11:45, and you will be assigned a 1-hour block to stand with it for judging.
