Graduate Student Forum 2022 | Vietnam
ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO JULY 15, 2022
This year’s graduate student forum is co-hosted by IIES and Ho Chi Minh University of Technology (HCMUT), held from October 27-28 on the island of Phu Quoc in Vietnam. The forum will allow graduate students from IIES member universities to meet and discuss environmental research from various perspectives. Students with give short 5-minute presentations with two slides maximum to present an overview of their research accessible to people from different research backgrounds. Greater emphasis will be placed on the discussion groups and talks from faculty and industry representatives, rather than the research results of an individual’s projects.
The forum will be held in conjunction with the 7th Annual IIES Science & Policy Workshop taking place at Ho Chi Minh University of Technology from October 24-25. Participants interested in attending both events must register for the workshop separately. Registration fees for both events will be covered for all IIES participants. If you are joining from a non-member institution, a registration fee will be charged, and travel and accommodations will be at your own expense.
IIES travel grants will be available to students from participating IIES institutions. Preference will be given to students who have not participated in past IIES activities. Recipients of IIES travel grants must attend both the Graduate Student Forum and the Annual Science & Policy Workshop. Please register separately for these events.
