Where the world connects for the best cosmetic science education!

Call for Student Posters at SCC76

Student poster exhibit spaces are full and no longer being accepted.

Sponsored by DD Chemco

Students are encouraged to participate by submitting an abstract of original work where they can exhibit on topics relevant to cosmetic science. This offers students the opportunity to present their ideas and findings in poster format to potential employers within the industry.

Accepted posters will be judged by the Committee on Scientific Affairs (COSA) and awards will be presented to the best poster in order of First Place ($800), Second ($600), Third ($400) and Fourth ($200).  Past winners have gone on to work for companies such as Chanel, KAO USA, Johnson & Johnson and other notable organizations.

Procedure

The Society will be accepting the best student abstracts to be presented for poster presentations during the Annual Meeting. All abstracts should be an original body of work, written in English and informative, containing:

• Student Name, College/University, Address and Abstract Title
• Introduction and background information
• An objective
• Methods, ingredients or materials used
• Results of the research
• Statement of conclusions
• Recommendations or future work to be done
• Acknowledgments

Poster boards will be located on the lower level (Gold Ballroom) in the Showcase Exhibition, alongside other industry poster presentations, during the Annual Meeting. Student posters may include experimental data, graphs, illustrations/photos. Complete trade names, as well as the INCI nomenclature, are requested for ingredients.

All accepted poster presenters must register for the Annual Meeting as a Full Access registrant (see current rates here). Students will have access to all Scientific Sessions and all meals.

Finally, if room accommodations are needed, students should book their room using this link to receive the negotiated rate ($249). All travel expenses, hotel bookings, and meeting registrations will be incurred by the student (we strongly suggest students seek sponsorships from their universities and/or internships).
