Oral Presentations
We select 10-12 oral presentations among abstracts submitted by May 15, 2022. We thank all, abstract judges, for their scoring the abstracts. Certificates will be given to the best three presenters/groups based on their scores.
Poster Presentations
All poster presenters (including Honorable Mention) should prepare a five-minute (maximum) presentation to pitch their research to conference attendees (flexible format; simply deliver the content in an engaging way). All poster presenters should submit their final presentation materials by 11:59 pm (ET) on June 9, 2022 to the miRcore official email (which sent your file submission forms) with subject line “Poster Presentation” to be assigned to judges.
Poster Judges
These professionals will engage each poster presenter in discussion about their research and provide feedback.
Popular votes
The general audience will also vote on poster presentations.
Certificates
Certificates will be given to the best three poster presenters/groups as graded by the judges; the three most popular posters, as selected by conference attendees, will also receive certificates.
Conference Proceedings
If you want to publish your abstract in the conference proceedings, please submit your research abstract and your “About Me” with your picture in Word format by May 15, 2022 (refer to “Abstract Submission”).
Even if you miss the deadline to publish, you can still bring in your research poster and compete for the poster presentation award. However, you should submit your poster abstract content to us by June 5, 2022 to be considered for a poster presentation (judge assigned).
