Staff and students working on research topics related to mental health or conflict settings across the School are invited to submit a poster that illustrates your research findings, theories, models and ideas in a visually compelling way. The purpose of the exhibition is to showcase the breadth of health research currently underway at the LSE and to enable researchers to share and discuss their work with colleagues. Posters need to be broadly related to either theme but do not need to address both.
If your poster is accepted into the exhibition, it will be:
Printed (free of charge) and displayed at the Global Health Initiative Conflict and Mental Health Event on 13 February 2020. You will be expected to attend to exhibit your work.
Winning posters will be displayed on the LSE Global Health Initiative website.
If you need any guidance on creating your poster submission then the LSE Research Festival Toolkit (the Research Festival hosts a similar poster display annually) has some useful advice. Details are available here.
Academic societies increasingly have poster sessions at their annual conferences, and some require junior scholars who are first-time attendees to submit posters before they can present papers. Posters are an ideal way of presenting research in a succinct form, and presenting a poster provides a way into the professional academic network of scholars.
