Panel Presentations with Interactive Elements
This format includes research presentations, creative expressions, and interactive elements. Participants will present their work within a group panel, with each panel featuring 3-5 presenters discussing a common theme. Presenters will also incorporate interactive elements or creative expressions, allowing for direct audience engagement and discussion. This setup provides an opportunity to engage in intellectual exchange and fosters a dynamic environment for learning and sharing ideas.
Poster Presentations
In this format, participants will showcase their work through traditional research posters. Attendees can explore a variety of academic topics through visual displays, engaging in one-on-one discussions with the presenters about their research findings. This format allows for detailed, focused interactions in a more informal setting.
