(CMSC: Benbrook, TX) -- The Coordinate Metrology Society (CMS) has released the submission guidelines for its Academic Poster Presentation Session at the 2011 Coordinate Metrology Systems Conference (CMSC), which is being held in Phoenix, July 25–29, 2011.
|
The intention of the Academic Poster Presentation Session is to give researchers, educators, and students access to a highly relevant industry community in order to share their work with the people who will be the first benefactors of the academic works. The event will be social in nature and will allow one-on-one and small-group interaction between academics and other CMSC members.
Because of the diversity of its membership, the CMS encourages poster presentations to cover a wide range of academic topics related to coordinate metrology, including:
• Descriptions of theoretical research or research capabilities
• Descriptions of theoretical or practical coursework and degree programs
• Descriptions of laboratory or calibration facilities
• Descriptions of consulting services supported by the academic institution
Eligibility
Participants of the poster presentation session must currently be employed by or enrolled in a college, university, or technical school. To have a poster displayed during the session and to receive student registration pricing, each participant will have to present a valid ID issued by the represented school.
Important deadlines for submission and publication
• Early-bird conference registration ends: May 19, 2011
• Deadline for poster description and presenter bio: June 1, 2011
• Registration deadline for presenters: June 23, 2011
• Poster presentation material submission deadline: July 1, 2011
• CMSC conference dates: July 25–28, 2011
Presenting a poster provides a tremendous opportunity for exposure and recognition from your peers in the portable metrology field. The CMS Executive Committee extends student pricing for conference registration and membership fees for all faculty and students presenting at the CMSC.
The Coordinate Metrology Society will publish all presented posters on the CMSC website. Additionally, presenters of exceptional posters will be offered an opportunity to author a technical paper that will be published in The Journal of the CMSC. The Journal is mailed to a large circulation and is distributed at trade shows and conferences related to large volume portable metrology. Articles published in past editions of The Journal are being cited in current technical work.
Pending an event sponsor, there will be a cash award (payable to the presenter’s institution) for best poster as judged by the CMS executive committee.
