Participant Information
Given that there are so many of us, we are going to try an alternative to a barrage of short talks. The plan is to have short (2-minute) talks, long (7-minute) talks, and posters.
A reminder of terminology: A collaborative effort is a single "project" consisting of multiple "awards".
- - New projects: Each project with a start date after 10/10/16 will give one short talk.
- - Final-year projects: Each project with a nominal end date between 10/10/17 and 10/10/18 will give one long talk.
- - Posters: Each award that is not giving a talk will present a poster; this includes non-lead collaborators of projects that are giving talks.
- - Optional posters: Any award that is giving a talk or that has a nominal end date before 10/10/17 (i.e., is in no-cost extension at the time of the meeting) may choose to present a poster.
All presentation materials - for Short Talks, Long Talks, and Posters - should please be uploaded to our online archive before the meeting. Here's the link for your PDF files : https://www.dropbox.com/request/9GtLGPmZgJbOmR39aUrZ
TALKS
- SHORT (2-minute) talks and LONG (7-minute) talks will be presented from your own laptops.
- No electronic submission of the presentation is necessary.
- If you have embedded video or are unsure if your laptop will connect with the hotel presentation system (which should have HDMI, VGA, mini-displayport) please check before your session during one of the breaks.
- We will have four poster sessions.
- Each poster presenter will be alloted a 4'x4' space on a shared 4' high by 8' wide free-standing, double-sided easel stand. (That's 2 posters per side, 4 posters per easel stand.)
- You should bring your hard copy poster with you, as we cannot print your poster for you.
- You may choose to print a 36" x 48" poster in landscape or portrait orientation; you may choose to print a 37.5" x 12" poster in either mode; you may choose to print whatever size or orientation poster you think best displays your project.
- You may hang / pin-up your poster in the morning or afternooon directly before your scheduled poster session.
- You should remove your poster after your scheduled poster session. (The same poster stands will be used for all four sessions across both days.)
- You should not bring something that exceeds the 4 foot square of vertical space alloted to you.
- You should not install something that will damage the easel stand or display so as to render it unusable for the next poster session, please.
We have posted a draft schedule here:
http://nri2017.csail.mit.edu/program.html
Note that we are listing the PI's in the schedule, for each award; we understand that in some cases, a different project team member may be giving the presentation, but we don't plan to reflect those substitutions in this schedule.
We believe we have taken into account all of the scheduling constraints received so far. Please let us know (via email to nri2017 _"at"_ csail.mit.edu) whether
- - it is impossible for you (or your designated project member) to present in your assigned slot
- - you fall into the optional poster category and would like to present a poster
