FAQ

Why should I attend?

WE ARE GLAD YOU ASKED!

The Biannual Cutting Edge Event is an excellent opportunity to present your work to your colleagues and interested others in a relaxed environment. We aim to enable young scientists a possibility to present their research to their peers, to discuss the results, and to entangle the scientific problems from various perspectives.

Who is the event for?

Primarily, the event is meant for Bachelor's, Master's, PhD students, young researchers at the beginning of their careers, and all others who are involved in the research in one of the following three Cutting Edge topics

Science behind the Living

Materials of the Future

Technologies for the Earth and Environments

If you recognized yourself in any of these descriptions, then this is the right event for you! Do not hesitate and fill out the registration form above!

How to participate?

We have decided that we will offer two different types of participation.

  1. Active participation
    If you would like to present your work to others in the form of an abstract, poster and a short 2-minute presentation consider this option!
  2. Passive participation
    If you would rather just listen to presented research, or if you are here just looking for inspiration, this is the right option for you.

What is happening this year?

We are excited to announce that we are assembling an outstanding lineup of guests and speakers for the upcoming conference. Please stay tuned for more information! What to expect:

PROMINENT AND WELL ESTABLISHED SCIENTISTS

Leading scientists and researchers from various institutions will demonstrate how to effectively translate new ideas into successful business plans, and discuss how their careers are intertwined between industry and academia.

ELEVATOR PITCH WORKSHOP

You know that scary feeling just before you pitch in front of a wider audience? Maybe just in front of a professor that you want to impress? In any case, good preparation plays an important role. The best way to perfect your pitch is to start preparing it on time and practice it often. Approximaley a week prior the conference day we will organize an Elevator pitch workshop to help you with this!

Are you looking for additional guidelines and templates?
