At GLEON meetings, students and the GLEON Student Association have a significant presence and contribute substantially to the organization, leadership, collaborations, and research projects that underpin GLEON.
Student Poster Session This two-hour event allows
students to present a summary of their research and research ideas and to
interact with all GLEON meeting attendees. It is an excellent opportunity to
highlight your research, network with senior GLEON scientists, and learn about
other student member’s research.We
encourage you to develop a poster that is accessible to scientists and
engineers alike.
Cool Things GLEON’s “Cool
Things” session is made up of several short (~10 min) presentations by GLEON
members doing cutting edge, novel work. It is intended to be a casual
presentation of recently acquired data or results. Students are invited to
participate and lead a presentation.Email
the GLEON Chair or co-chair if you are interested in leading a presentation
with the proposed title, the presenter, other authors, and a 1-2 sentence
description about the presentation.
Network Partnership Program This fall at GLEON 9,
the Program Committee is implementing a new mentoring program to increase
student involvement and integration into the network This new program
matcheseach GLEON student meeting
attendees, “Student Partners”, with more senior GLEON scientists, “Senior
Partner.” Students are matched with a Senior Partner based on experience in the
network and scientific interests. The exact terms of this mentorship will vary
depending on the particular needs of the Student and Senior Partners. The
Senior Partner is expected to be friendly and supportive, make frequent contact
with the Student Partner during the meeting, and introduce her/him to other
GLEON members. This partnership will provide an opportunity for enhanced
networking facilitated by the Senior Partner and foster increased collaboration
and collegiality.
Future plans for the GLEON Student Association include student workshops outside of meetings, where students come together to make tangible progress on a specific GLEON science-related questions, for the purpose of reaching a targeted goal. Examples include conducting a collaborative experiment, generating a research proposal, or drafting a manuscript.
We encourage student attendees to GLEON meetings to read about the GLEON working groups and get involved.Before you attend a meeting you should check out:
