Judging

Our steering committee of 14 members from different APRU universities and one representative from Osaka University will judge the posters.

The Judging Criteria are as follows:

  2. Purpose - is the purpose clearly stated and is its importance discussed?
  3. Methods - are the methods and analyses sound?
  4. Conclusions - do the conclusions follow from the results presented?
  5. Presentation - is the poster clear and well-executed?

Winners will be notified by August 1, 2015.
