PRESENTATION FORMAT

Presentation format

GUIDELINES FOR CHOOSING A FORMAT
Focus on available resources: if you lack laboratory access, opt for a theoretical study, a literature review, or data analysis.
Identify a local issue: solving problems relevant to a university or city is often more engaging than tackling an abstract topic.
Combine theory and practice: even in the humanities, you can conduct research or content analysis; conversely, in technical projects, you can support your calculations with an economic assessment.
Highlight novelty: this could be a new method, an unexpected perspective, or previously unanalyzed data.
If you have chosen the “Video Presentation” format, you will be participating in the “Know It? Teach It!” segment.
