About the event
This conference is held on Twitter over 24 hours. The unique format removes the environmental and financial costs of attending a traditional conference. It helps scientific researchers share their work and network across disciplines, wherever they are.
To participate, REU scholars post their posters with the hashtag #MONETREUScholars tagging @CciMonet.Â
They can comment below their poster with your optional #MONETPosterPitch, a 60-second video overview of their research, just like they might give at an in-person conference (find out more about #RSCPosterPitch here).
They discuss and engage – throughout the 24h conference; make sure to answer the questions from the community and committee and comment on other #MONETREUScholars Posters.
Here are some helpful resources for sharing a research poster on Twitter:
