poster presentation conference 2023

2023 IASP Poster Presentation Information

As part of the 2023 IASP conference, individuals are invited to submit a proposal for a poster presentation that connects with the overall conference theme: Strategy Through a Creative and Inclusive Lens.

What is a poster session?

Poster sessions are a common feature of professional conferences, especially in fields where innovation and research play a major part. Posters enable IASP to showcase the variety of research and other projects that IASP members have in-progress or have recently conducted.  In general, poster presentations are less structured than a paper presentation, but they allow for greater and more detailed exchange of information and personal contact between the presenters and their audience. Poster sessions can sometimes reach a broader cross-section of the membership than multi-speaker panels or individual papers. 

Why would I present a poster?

You can use a poster to quickly and effectively report findings from a recent study or project, discuss program outcomes and give updates on work in progress, or even announce the launch of a new initiative. Well-designed posters convey important points and ideas quickly, and poster sessions are meant to stimulate substantive interactions with your audience. If you’ve never presented at a conference, or if you’ve ever wished there was more time for Q&A during a panel, or wished you could just let your data speak for itself, a poster session is ideal. Individuals selected to present a poster will get a free conference registration for the day of the poster session.

Proposal Submission Requirements

Any poster presentation that is of interest to strategy professionals is appropriate for the IASP Program Committee to Review. 

Those interested in presenting must submit a title and abstract of their presentation via this form .

You will also include the primary presenter’s name, address, phone number, e-mail, place of employment or study, and name of additional presenters (if any), all suitable for printing in the conference program. 

The deadline to submit a proposal is Feb. 28, 2023 via this form . Applicants will be notified the week of March 15 as to the status of their application. Successful applicants will be expected to register for the conference by no later than March 31, 2023.

Poster Preparation

A poster is a graphic display of your work. The best posters make one and only one point. What do you want viewers to learn? They should be able to identify immediately what that is. Think of your poster as a conversation starter–something that draws interest and makes the audience want to learn more. A poster is not a comprehensive report of your innovative practice, case-study, research, etc.

Posters should be readable by viewers five feet away. The message should be clear and understandable without oral explanation. The following guidelines have been prepared to help improve the effectiveness of poster communications.

Resist the temptation to overload the poster. More material may mean less communication. Keep accessibility in-mind when designing your poster. Checkout our guidelines for accessible presentations .

Create a high-resolution printed poster that does not exceed 36” x 48”

Tips for creating an impactful poster:

• The title is short and draws interest
• The word doesn’t exceed 500 words
• The text is brief and to the point
• Use a bullets, numbering, and headlines make it easy to read
• Make effective use of graphics, color and fonts
• Ensure that the content can be presented in 5 - 10 minutes at a comfortable, conversational pace

Design Best Practices

• Use a simple, light, neutral-colored background that provides enough contrast with the text. Avoid busy and distracting backgrounds.
• Choose one bold accent color, and use it sparingly to help your poster stand out without being distracting.
• Stick to simple and easy-to-read fonts (e.g. Arial, Helvetica).
• Distinguish headings and subheadings from the rest of the text with different fonts or font sizes.
• Use large font sizes that can be read from a distance of five feet. Try to stay between 18 pt (for figure legends) and 85 pt (for the main title).
• For the body text, set the line spacing to a minimum of 1.25 and don’t make the text box too wide. 
• Leave some clear space in the borders, between sections, and between lines 
• Use gridlines to help you align your sections, columns, text, and figures so they look neat and evenly distributed.
• Use your layout to create a flow that helps the audience move logically from one section to the next.

 Poster Session Logistics

• Each poster presenter is responsible for printing their poster and bringing it to the meeting. 
• Each poster must have a presenter who is required to stand by the poster during the scheduled duration of the poster session to answer questions from attendees.
• Bring your high-resolution printed poster with you to the meeting (size must not exceed 36” x 48”)
• The Poster Session will take place from 11:00 - 11:40 am on Tues. May 23. During this time, you will remain by your poster board and share your program, emerging practice, case-study or research with other attendees.
• Your poster is part of a session consisting of up to 10 posters and will be held in the exhibit hall.
• Posters may be set up between 8:00 and 9:45 am on May 23.  
• Presentations must be taken down between 4:15 and 6:00 pm on May 23rd. Display materials not removed following the conclusion of the session will be discarded.
• No audiovisual equipment is permitted for poster presentations.

Giving the Presentation

The best poster presenters are those who are able to engage their audience by having a clear presentation, a positive body language, and a genuine conversation. Follow these tips to effectively present your poster:

• Stand on one side of the poster and avoid blocking the audience from viewing your poster or the poster next to yours.
• Smile and make eye contact with the audience. Introduce yourself.
• Ask your audience if they would like you to present your poster to them. Some people prefer to just scan posters on their own.
• As you’re presenting, use your hands to point to the relevant parts of your poster. Look at your audience instead of staring at your own poster the entire time. It helps to position your feet towards the audience instead of towards your poster.
• Be yourself and let your genuine personality show through your presentation and interaction with the audience.
• If you see others waiting for you while you’re still talking to others, acknowledge them with a smile or nod so they know you see them.
• Ask if your audience has any questions. Answer their questions to the best of your ability, and don’t be afraid to admit if you don’t know the answer.
• If you don’t see others waiting for your poster, take the opportunity to network with your current audience or other poster presenters around you. Ask them about themselves and what they’re working on. This is also a great time to ask for feedback on your work.
• Look for opportunities to exchange contact information or arrange to connect another time for further discussions or to explore potential collaborations.

Additional Tips

• Offer attendees a way to follow up with you or to learn more after the conference is over. You could provide business cards or create and share a QR code. You can set up the code so it can open a text document, website, video, e-mail address, phone number, or map.  
• Consider providing a handout that summarizes or expands upon the poster content.

Poster Session Guidelines

• Events & Meetings

Attention:  All Annual Meeting presenters who submitted abstracts for oral, poster or roundtable sessions must be in Atlanta to present. There are no virtual options for presenters.

A Poster Session is a graphic presentation of an author's research. Authors illustrate their findings by displaying graphs, photos, diagrams and a small amount of text on the poster boards. Poster Sessions will take place in the Public Health Expo. Authors will hold discussions with attendees who are circulating among the poster boards.

General Information

• Poster presenters must be individual members of APHA and they must register for the meeting.
• Poster sessions are one hour long. During the session you will remain by your poster board and share your research with other attendees.
• Your poster is part of a session consisting of 10 posters. Your 4-digit session number and board number can be found in the online program . When you arrive, find your session number on the sign in front of the row and then locate your board number.
• Posters may be set up 30 minutes before the start of the session.
• Presentations should be taken down within 30 minutes after the session ends. Display materials not removed following the conclusion of the session will be discarded.
• No audiovisual equipment is permitted for poster presentations.
• Push pins will be available on-site for mounting the displays. 
• A chair will be provided for each Poster Session presenter.

Poster Development Tips

• Posters must fit on mounted stands that are 4 feet tall by 8 feet wide. See some recommended poster sizes .
• Keep accessibility in mind when designing your poster. Checkout our guidelines for accessible presentations .
• The material should be well labeled and legible from a distance of 10 to 15 feet away. Lettering should be bold. Use a large sans serif font such as Veranda.
• Consider the Better Research Poster design for an easy-to-digest poster design.

Poster Presenter Responsibilities and Opportunities at CROI

Eposter upload.

Poster presenters are required to upload an ePoster (PDF file) version of their poster that will be available to attendees through the CROI Mobile App. The ePoster submission is now live, presenting authors will receive an email with their login credentials on February 22, 2024 with the subject “CROI 2024 ePoster is Open.”

ePoster Upload Instructions (Required) Deadline: February 29, 2024, at 8:00 AM PT.

• To upload your ePoster for the conference, log into your Speaker Portal using the login credentials provided in the email. The link to the speaker portal can be found here: CROI 2024 ePoster Upload Speaker Portal
• Select your poster presentation from the “My Sessions” section. This session will be designated by your poster number and title.
• Click on the “Documents” tab under the session information.
• Poster files can be replaced with a newer version until February 29, 2024, at 8:00 AM PT.

Poster presenting authors illustrate their study findings by displaying graphs, figures, diagrams, and text that describe their main background, methods, findings, results, and conclusions on posters presented during assigned sessions at CROI.  

CROI Poster Format

Posters should be designed to attract interested attendees by quickly focusing them on the study’s main findings.  

Poster presenters are strongly encouraged to use the CROI poster template, which can be accessed in a PowerPoint template here: CROI Poster Template (Download) . This poster format draws attendees to a poster and allows them to easily identify the main findings, according to our attendee feedback. The notes contain poster guidelines that include formatting notes (eg, font size, use of color, poster print size) and poster content requirements (eg, the addition of the assigned poster number and the policy against the use of QR codes).  

Feedback has shown that the preferred CROI Poster Format (above) is a more effective way to communicate key findings as well as supporting data. Download the Poster Template .

Poster Walks

The CROI Program Committee will host Poster Walks to discuss key science presented in poster sessions. Program committee members lead a small group of new investigators through these “poster walk-throughs” daily during the poster sessions. The committee members curate a list of poster presentations, hold a brief introductory discussion with the group, then lead them to visit each of the curated posters and encourage discussion with poster presenters. Following a short debrief, new investigators are encouraged to visit other poster presentations independently. 

Electronic Poster Theaters

The CROI Program Committee will introduce key science presented in poster sessions each day. Presentations will take place in 1 of 3 theaters designated for Basic Science, Clinical, and Epidemiology/Public Health. After these presentations, attendees will be better prepared to engage with the poster presenters during their designated poster session. 

Poster Sessions and Displaying Your Poster at CROI

• Posters should be on display for the entire conference and not removed before the end of the poster session on the last day of CROI
• Posters are assigned to a session with other poster presentations that share a similar theme and assigned to a day for presentation
• Poster presenters should stand by their poster for the full duration of their assigned session to discuss it and respond to questions from attendees

Poster presenters should make their travel plans for CROI keeping their session assignment in mind, as we cannot reassign posters to a different session. If exigent circumstances preclude the presenting author from attending the session, a replacement must be found to present the poster. As submitters agreed to in the submission process, all poster presenters must present their work at CROI. Any work that is accepted at CROI must be presented by the presenting author, or notification of replacement must be sent to [email protected] , prior to CROI. The inability of an author to present may impact all authors’ ability to present at CROI in the future.

Poster Contents

Poster Title: The poster title should be the same as the title submitted with the abstract and appear in boldface at the top in standard American Medical Association (AMA) title case. Nouns, pronouns, verbs, and other important words begin with uppercase letters; coordinating conjunctions, articles, and prepositions of 3 letters or fewer should all be in lowercase unless they are the first or last words in a title or subtitle.  

Assigned Poster Number: The assigned poster number should be displayed in the upper right corner (“0000” in the CROI Poster Format template). This is not the abstract submission number assigned during the submission of the abstract, but a number that denotes the position of the poster in the poster hall and in the conference program. This number is sent to the presenting author after late-breaking abstracts have been accepted.  

QR Codes and Links to External Materials Are Not Allowed: QR codes, bar codes, or other links to external resources are not permitted on posters displayed at CROI or on electronic versions of the posters to be uploaded to the CROI website.  

Corporate Logos and Trade Names: The use of commercial logos and trade names should not be used on posters, opening slides, title slides, or presentation slides.  

Displaying Posters at CROI

The suggested size for posters is either 54 inches (width) x 36 inches (height) or 60 inches x 40 inches (137.2 cm x 91.4 cm or 152.4 cm x 101.6 cm) based on the CROI Poster Template. The minimum size for a poster is 36 inches (width) x 24 inches (height) so attendees can see the poster at least 10 feet away. The size of the board for displaying the poster is 96 inches (width) x 48 inches (height), and the maximum size of a poster is 93 inches (width) x 45 inches (height).  

The face of the poster board is covered with Velcro-receptive fabric. Pushpins will be provided to hang posters. Posters can be set up on Sunday, March 3, between 12:00 PM and 6:00 PM local time, and on Monday, March 4, between 7:30 AM and 12:00 PM local time.  

Poster Printing

Presenting authors should print their physical poster based on the requirements listed in the sections above. CROI does not print posters on behalf of presenters. There are four FedEx Print Shops located around the Colorado Convention Center:

FedEx Office Print & Ship Center:  Open Weekends (0.6 miles; 10-minute walk)

Guidelines for Presentation

Trade names.

Trade names for drugs should not be used in presentations. Refer to drugs and products by their nonproprietary names.  

Acknowledgments of Support and Contributors

Acknowledgments of support may be included in the poster presentation of the abstract at CROI.   

Sex Stratification and Other Demographic Variables

Presentations from randomized trials and cohorts should follow the ICMJE guidelines, including reporting of study designs (eg, prospective, observational, randomized, double-blind, STROBE, CONSORT, or others), statistical methods, and outcomes by demographic variables. For human clinical or epidemiologic studies, the presentation should provide sex-stratified results or identify who was included if it includes only a single population. Presentations of preclinical data including the use of cell lines and animal studies should include the sex of the animals or the sex of the source of the cell lines. If data are not available on sex (as assigned at birth) or gender (where gender is relevant to the study results), this should be identified as a limitation in the study.  

See: ICMJE Preparing for Submission  

Use of People-First Language and Appropriate Terminology  

See: Appropriate Terminology

Presentations Describing New Compounds  

Please be sure to include information sufficient to allow for meaningful review of compound data; this can include isolation, activity, chemical structure, mechanism of action, toxic effects, and pharmacologic data. The chemical or molecular structure must be shown in the presentation (it need not be part of the abstract or be published in the Abstract eBook).  

Publication or Presentation Prior to CROI

If study data are accepted for publication or presentation after the abstract submission to CROI, and that publication or presentation is expected to take place before CROI, the presenting author must contact CROI at [email protected] to provide details as soon as the presentation is accepted for review, presentation, or publication in another venue or outlet. Please be aware that although publication in these circumstances will not necessarily prevent presentation of the research at CROI, our strong preference is that any additional publication or presentation happen either simultaneous to or following presentation at CROI. Requests to publish or present research accepted for presentation at CROI prior to its presentation at CROI will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Failure to notify the conference promptly regarding plans to publish or present a CROI-accepted abstract prior to CROI may result in the removal of the study from the conference program.  

How to make an Academic Poster Presentation

An academic poster presentation is an effective way to communicate your research findings to a large audience at a conference. Posters allow you to present your work visually, making it easier for viewers to understand the key points of your research. Creating an academic poster presentation requires careful planning, attention to detail, and a well-designed layout. By following these steps, you can create a visually appealing and informative poster that effectively communicates your research to a wider audience at a conference.

Step 1: Plan your poster

Before you begin creating your poster, it is important to plan its content and layout. Identify the key points of your research that you want to communicate and organize them in a logical sequence. Consider the audience and the message you want to convey to them. Think about the design elements that will enhance your poster, such as color, graphics, and fonts.

Step 2: Choose a poster template

There are many poster templates available online that you can use as a starting point for your design. Alternatively, you can create your own template using PowerPoint or a similar software. The most common poster size is 48 inches by 36 inches, so make sure to choose a template that matches the dimensions of your poster.

Step 3: Create your poster

Once you have your plan and template, it’s time to start creating your poster. Begin by adding the title of your poster, the authors, and their affiliations. Include a brief abstract or summary of your research at the top of the poster, so viewers can quickly understand the purpose and significance of your work.

Next, organize your content into sections using headings and subheadings . Use bullet points or numbered lists to break up large blocks of text and make your poster easier to read. Be sure to include visual elements such as graphs , charts , tables , and images to help illustrate your key findings. Keep in mind that your poster should be easy to read from a distance, so use a legible font size and avoid overcrowding the poster with too much text or images.

Step 4: Proofread and edit

Once you have completed your poster, take the time to proofread and edit it carefully. Check for spelling and grammar errors, and make sure that your content is organized logically and flows smoothly. Ask a colleague or advisor to review your poster and provide feedback.

Step 5: Print your poster

When you are ready to print your poster, make sure to choose a high-quality printer and paper. Print a test copy first to ensure that the colors and images are clear and accurate. Allow enough time to print your poster and make any necessary corrections before the conference.

Step 6: Present your poster

At the conference, set up your poster in a prominent location where it will be easily visible to attendees. Be prepared to answer questions and provide additional information about your research. Use your poster as a visual aid to guide your discussion and emphasize your key findings.

ITiCSE 2023

Welcome to Turku Finland

Call for posters

This page provides detailed information about poster submissions to the ITiCSE 2023 conference. It is part of the general  Call for Participation  which you should read first, if you have not yet done so.

If you have questions that neither this page nor the  Call for Participation  can answer, please  contact the poster chairs .

Poster presentation

ITiCSE poster sessions provide an opportunity to share computing education ideas in a less formal setting than a paper presentation.

A poster is a single-page document, typically combining text and images, that embodies a succinct description of work that has been done. Presenting a poster is a good way to discuss and receive feedback on a work in progress that has not been fully developed into a paper.

Posters should not re-present previously published work.

Poster proposal review is not anonymous.

ITiCSE 2023 will be held face to face and all presenters will be required to present their poster in person during a dedicated time slot. More information will be made available in due course.

By SIGCSE Organization policy, at least one author is required to register, attend and present the poster. See our full policy for more information.

Poster topic ideas

The topic of a poster presentation is not limited. However, the topic should lend itself to presentation in poster format, possibly with additional details available in the form of web references. You might consider a poster presentation of teaching materials that you would like to share, or preliminary research findings. Examples might include

• imaginative assignments
• innovative curriculum design
• laboratory materials
• effective ideas for recruiting and retaining students
• computing education research that is in a preliminary stage

Suggestions for poster design are given in Research Posters 101 . Although these suggestions were published for student researchers, the ideas are also applicable to posters for this conference.

Formatting the poster proposal

A poster proposal is a single page, in PDF format, explaining what the poster is about. The proposal is used for the review process, and, if the proposal is accepted, for publication in the ITiCSE proceedings. The one-page proposal must adhere to ACM’s publication guidelines. For more detail, see Formatting requirements on the Call for Participation page .

Poster proposal contents

A poster proposal will typically include the following information.

• Title: a title for the poster.
• Proposer: include name, affiliation, and email address. Correspondence related to the conference will be sent by email. Please check your spam filter if you haven’t received an expected notification because the bulk emails generated by the conference software are sometimes blocked.
• Abstract: a description of the poster. The same abstract will also need to be copied into a text box on the submission page. Please be sure that your description is accurate and that both submitted copies (in the PDF poster proposal and in the submission text box) are exactly the same.
• Content: A description of the expected content of the poster, along with an indication of why the topic is significant: why conference attendees will find it interesting.

Important dates for posters

Important dates can be found in the sidebar on the right.

Conference 2023 poster presentations

Inqaahe conference 2023 roadmap to enabling quality in tertiary education 2030, may 29 - june 1, 2023, poster presentations, the greening of quality assurance and institutional accreditation .

Presented by Dr. Scott G. Blair, Director of Accreditation and Quality Assurance at AIAASC, Vice President of CANIE-Europe, and Affiliate at the Gateway International Group, LLC.

Greening the standards of institutional accreditation would provide colleges, universities, and business schools with the motivation they currently lack to address the climate crisis head-on. As such, this poster presents a research-based overview of the “greenness” of the most prevalent accreditation standards used in IHE today. It textually deconstructs accreditation standards, rates their eco-sensitivity, and provides carrots and sticks for strengthening accrediting bodies in line with the SDGs and education for sustainable development.

Independent assessment of education quality as a tool of external quality assurance of higher education in Russia

Presented by Dr Mikhail Petropavlovskiy, The National Accreditation Agency (NAA), Russia.

An independent assessment of education quality through Internet technologies based on assessment materials developed by the leading Russian universities was conducted in Russia in 2021 and 2022. The idea is that based on the assessment tools (developed by the Russian’s leading universities for assessing their students’ general professional competencies) to form generalized task banks and use them to evaluate relevant degree programs in other universities.

In 2021, a collection was made for 8 different degree programs, in 2022 – for 6 programs. The assignments selected by the experts were converted and used to fill a Unified Bank of Assessment Tools (UBAT).

Testing of students from Russian HEIs was carried out using an information system based on the Internet technologies.

Testing revealed that the knowledge level of students from the universities participating in the project complied with the Federal State Educational Standard (FSES). Simultaneously with testing, a students’ questionnaire survey in terms of students’ satisfaction with the content of study programs was conducted. Based on the survey results a high level of students’ satisfaction with study programs is determined.

Quality Assurance for Simulation-Based Medical Education in a remote setting in Rwanda

Presented by Ornella Masimbi, The University of Global Health Equity, Rwanda.

The University of Global Health Equity (UGHE) provides health professions education in a deeply remote setting of Rwanda, some 200 km from the capital city, with the goal of producing physicians who can improve health service delivery and act as change agents. Simulation-based medical education (SBME) proven to enhance clinical competence andpatient safety, is not common in East Africa, but at the UGHE,it has been implemented and integrated across all years of physician’s training.We describe our approach to quality assurance for SBME in this low-incomesetting.

Building a common conceptual framework for safeguarding and quality assurance in higher education

Presented by Deborah Fletcher and Tomlin Paul, The University of Global Health Equity, Rwanda.

Safeguarding concerns itself with protecting health, well-being, and human rights of individuals at risk enabling them to live safely, free from abuse and neglect. Ideally, safeguarding should be a well-established responsibility for higher education institutions (HEIs); however, universities worldwide have faced several safeguarding related challenges. This safe environment is achieved through the collective effort of individuals, groups, and the organization itself (the micro, meso and macro). For HEI’s to roll-out effective safeguarding they must go through the psychosocial processes of “intuiting, interpreting, integrating and institutionalizing”, the 4I’s.

Using the 4I’s framework, small changes take place as individuals process intuition and interpreting, while radical changes take place as they take collective actions through integration. By linking a theory of change for safeguarding with the 4I’s framework the authors critically consider the role the three levels (micro, meso and macro) play in effecting change.

If looked at as having an institutional goal to reduce risks and vulnerabilities, then quality assurance can be applied at the three levels, with its scope visualised to include inter alia safeguarding. Safeguarding, if similarly applied, could achieve a range of outcomes for which quality assurance is used to ensure that processes are followed, and standards maintained. There is therefore a dualistic relationship between safeguarding and quality assurance. This perspective of the 4Is operating at the three levels is a fitting context for applying safeguarding and quality assurance as essential institutional change agents. The authors suggest that HEIs should explore this synergy to enhance quality outcomes.

The development of a quality assurance system (QAS) as an innovative practice for strengthening tertiary education

Presented by Dr. Marisabel FIGUEROA and MSc Humberto LEON, Quality Assurance Directorate, Bernardo O'Higgins University, Chile.

Organisational dynamics and changes in the environment promote the need for rapid adaptation, and tertiary education institutions do not escape this reality, so that the quality assurance mechanisms implemented by them require greater systematisation to ensure compliance with the criteria, standards, values, regulations and procedures established, while also safeguarding the legal aspects that regulate universities and tertiary education.

The development of a process structure and its correct interrelation facilitates the management not only of quality, but also of other relevant organisational aspects. The articulation in a single system of the main processes and resources existing in the institutions makes it possible to consider and develop aspects such as leadership, culture, organisational design, principles and values, among others.

Quality assurance activities depend on the existence of the necessary institutional mechanisms, preferably underpinned by a strong quality culture, to provide assurance and accountability in the promotion of shared values and the development of innovative practices in times of rapid change and disruption of all kinds.

The poster presented highlights the importance of the process approach in a university and its contribution to strengthening tertiary education, shared values and innovative practices. This is amply demonstrated by the recognition granted to the SAC model, developed by the Universidad Bernardo O'Higgins in Chile, which since 2021 is patented under the concept of innovation patent and registered at the European Patent Office (EPO) and World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) (AU 2021105723).

Small but mighty: micro-credentials are extensive for the future of work

Presented by Muhammad Hasfarizal Kamaludin, Head of Public and International Affairs Unit, Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA).

The COVID-19 global pandemic has caused massive disruptions in many sectors of society including higher education. The outbreak has caused Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) to embrace online learning and online assessment due to the Movement Control Order (MCO). This paper presents the impacts and benefits of Micro-Credentials for the future of work from the findings of two enablers; which is the HEIs which act as the providers and the industries which act as the requesters. This supply to demand relationship between HEIs and industries are further supported by the policy and framework under MQA and Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) Malaysia.

Quality Assurance for Flexible Learners: Experiences and Expectations

Presented by Dr. B S Ponmudiraj, Adviser,  National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), India.

Needless mention the process of Assessment and Accreditation as a product of External Quality Assurance (EQA) Agency. In the Indian experience of quality of flexible learning pathways is of two ways, viz., capturing the essence of flexibility in the form of horizontal and vertical mobility of students, secondly multiple entry and multiple exit options for the learners. The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) as a premier flagship EQA Agency of Indian Higher Education system being serving the society for the last 29 years in the form of Assessment and Accreditation of Institutions of Higher Learning in India has accredited over 9200 Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in India. The quality assurance issues with respect to flexible pathways of learning environment in the Universities and Colleges revolve around technology and usage of technology.

Embrancing the use of technology in police training pursuant to sustainable development goal in securing and widening equitable access to quality assured training and supporting life-long learning

Presented by Ms. Carmen CHIK, Superintendent of Police, Hong Kong Police College, Hong Kong Police Force.

Practicality, timeliness and outcome-based are crucial in police training. The Hong Kong Police College (Police College) of the Hong Kong Police Force develops quality assurance (QA) from external accreditation to the current internal accreditation by building its institutional capability which is recognized by the statutory accreditation authority – Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications (HKCAAVQ). To this end, Police College has initiated two interactive QA gatekeepers – Quality Assurance Mechanism and Internal Learning Programme Accreditation System. Facing a range of challenges, like pandemics, Police College embraces digitalization in its teaching and learning to incorporate into a blended approach without compromising quality aiming to provide inclusive and equitable training to all members of the organization and foster a potential platform for flexible life-long learning opportunities for all.

Insights into the OAAAQA practices: into further fostering the INQAAHE's values

Presented by Mr. Moez Marrouchi, National College of Automotive Technology (NCAT), Oman.

While studying the practices of the Oman Authority for Academic Accreditation (OAAA), now changed to be the Oman Authority for Academic Accreditation and Quality Assurance of Education (OAAAQA), with regard to Higher Education Institutions’ (HEIs) accreditations in Oman, to make a clear contribution to the literature of quality assurance in general and academic accreditation in Oman in particular, this study aims at revealing how this sole accrediting body’s practices promote the INQAAHE’s values. Based on nonnumerical data, where the literature about accreditation and observation are largely involved, the presenter gives a thorough overview of the current accreditation system and analyzes the roles being played by the OAAA, now called OAAAQA, in disseminating and fostering the culture of quality assurance among the HEIs as well as accrediting them. The presentation concludes that the OAAAQA mechanisms culminate in promoting the values of inclusiveness, integrity, independence, academic freedom, collaboration, internationalization, and diversity.

The University of Global Health Equity, Rwanda partnering on Roadmap 2030 for quality in health professions education

Presented by Tomlin Paul and Abebe Bekele, University of Global Health Equity.

The University of Global Health Equity (UGHE), Rwanda is an educational initiative started in 2015 in the a remote district, with the objective “to strengthen health systems and radically change the way health care is delivered around the world by training global health professionals to deliver more equitable, quality health services for all.” UGHE’s flagship programs the Master of Science in Global Health Delivery (MGHD) and the Bachelor of Medicine; Bachelor of Surgery/Masters in Global Health Delivery (MB BS/MGHD) have successfully leveraged over forty partnerships across academia, public and private sector for successful delivery. In 2022, UGHE received the ASPIRE-to-Excellence Award for its "Inspirational Approaches to Health Professions Education" from the Association for Medical Education of Europe (AMEE). This recognition is based on work in place-based health professions education promoting innovative pedagogy and a mutually rewarding community engagement. The overall educational approach follows principles consistent with UNESCO’s 2030 roadmap.

The right of quality assurance in Chilean universities through strategic direction and management models

Presented by Claudio Ruff Escobar, Bernardo O'Higgins University rector.

The heterogeneity of the education system involves a series of challenges when developing quality assurance mechanisms involving both government and private agencies.

In 2007, University Bernardo O'Higgins (UBO) participated in the accreditation process led by the National Accreditation Commission, motivated by its commitment to quality education as a right (along with the right to access higher education). Since then, UBO has developed a quality assurance system based on a Strategic Direction Model and its application in institutional management. From the application of these models, UBO positioned itself in international rankings that measure quality in higher education.

This proposal aims to present the Strategic Direction Model created by the government of UBO, which is observed through its positioning in international rankings. Furthermore, this proposal seeks to critically examine the management and quality assurance mechanisms in Latin America and the world so that improvements can be incorporated into the models developed.

Measuring students' critical thinking mindset and reasoning skills at an American-style university

Presented by Dr. Hayfa Jafar, Director Institutional Effectiveness, American University of Iraq-Sulaimani.

The importance of critical thinking (CT) is echoed by educators, employers, policy makers, and accreditation and quality assurance bodies, which emphasize the need to measure the learning outcomes related to these skills. Echoing this idea, our in-progress study uses a mixed methods, case study approach to assess the development of critical thinking and reasoning skills among students studying at an American-style university located in Kurdistan Iraq. To inform the interpretation of the assessment results, students and faculties’ perception of critical thinking will be investigated through in-depth interviews conducted in the spring semester of the academic year 2022-2023. This study is an exploratory one and uses the standardized test approach along with the above-mentioned interviews to assess the development of critical thinking and the factors that contribute to or hinder this process. Since the university adopts a liberal arts philosophy, this project is critical to ensuring the fulfilment of the university’s mission to cultivate students’ critical thinking skills.

Developing a robust internal quality assurance system: Small Island Developing State challenges and dilemmas

Presented by Dr Mohamed Shareef, (Vice-Chancellor), Aishath Shaheen Ismail, (Deputy Vice-Chancellor -Academic Affairs) and Dr Aminath Shiyama, Quality Assurance Controller, The Maldives National University (MNU), Maldives.

In the Maldives, a Small Island Developing State, The Maldives National University (MNU), is the largest and the first public university. While at MNU we face numerous challenges associated with the smallness of the country, over the recent years our commitment to quality assurance in higher education has intensified. The evolution of MNU 50 years ago, by coalescing various discipline-based institutes in the country gave MNU a unique fusion of various quality assurance processes which up until recently has not been made explicit nor harmonised.

In this presentation we will share how MNU with its history and distinguished standing in the country organised itself in developing an internal quality assurance framework. This process has enabled the development of a robust quality assurance culture especially one where students’ voices are at the forefront demonstrating MNU’s values for inclusivity and collaboration of all our stakeholders in the process.

Institutional audits in South African Higher Education: 2021-2022

Presented by Drs. Britta Zawada, Sanele Nene, Bongiwe Hobololo and Precious Sipuka, Council on Higher Education, South Africa.

The Council on Higher Education (CHE) in South Africa was legislated into being after the dawn of democracy in South Africa by the Higher Education Act (Act No. 101 of 1997, as amended) with a variety of mandates, roles and responsibilities with its role confirmed through the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) Act (Act No. 67 of 2008, as amended). In this session, the focus will be on the institutional audits of public universities that took place in 2021 and 2022. The first presentation sketches an outline of the institutional audits and reports on survey questionnaires that were conducted. The second presentation explores one of the themes that emerged during the audits, namely the career development trajectories of academic staff in public universities in South Africa. The third presentation explores a second theme, namely the issue of staff wellness during the pandemic that emerged from the institutional audit process.

Quality Assurance Issues & Practices in Higher Education Institutions in India with special reference to National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) accredited institutions

Presented by Dr. Ruchi Tripathi, National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), India and Dr. B S Ponmudiraj, Adviser, NAAC, India.

Quality assurance is paramount important for maintaining the quality of higher education institutions. This paper focuses on quality assurance aspects, the core areas of functions and activities of higher education institutions. An innovative and relevant framework has been designed by Indian accreditation agencies National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) which serves the basis of quality indicators which helps in getting employment/selfemployment/entrepreneurship for the students of higher education institutions. Indian institutions are assessed and accredited based on seven criteria related to curricular aspects, teaching learning and evaluation, research innovation and extension, infrastructure and learning resources, student support and progression, governance leadership and management, and institutional values and best practices. The data collected by NAAC for higher education institutions based on responses provided by the institutions have been taken into account for analysis purpose. The analysis has been carried out separately for universities and colleges, region and state wise. 

Transformation of tertiary education: role of QAS in formation and enhancing students innovative's competencies

Presented by Nadezda Abbas, UBO, Chile.

Nowadays we live in fast changing society where not only learning and training have become vitally important, but an ability to innovate as well. That innovative competence is demanded by the labour market, the public, state and the employees themselves, and the education system recognizes its importance and plays a central role in the development of innovative skills. However, some modern studies show that higher education institutions cannot meet these requirements. In these circumstances the role of internal quality assurance system has risen significantly. One of the main tasks of modern higher education is to create conditions for the formation of innovative competencies among young people. Innovative competencies presuppose the development of an adequate attitude to innovation, to a situation of uncertainty, the ability to react quickly in such conditions and make competent decisions ahead of time. The topic highlights QAS contribution in formation of innovative competity.

Facility for Rare Isotope Beams

At michigan state university, global superconducting radio frequency community attends frib-hosted conference in grand rapids.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – Hundreds of scientific and technical leaders in the superconducting radio frequency (SRF) field are converging in Michigan for the 21st International Conference on Radio-Frequency Superconductivity (SRF 2023). The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is serving as host for the premier conference running 25-30 June in Grand Rapids.

The SRF conference is held every two years, rotating between North America, Asia, and Europe. In 2019, the international organizing committee chose FRIB to host the next conference. FRIB was selected as a first-time host due to its success in assembling and building—with the SRF community’s support and curation—what is designed to be the most powerful heavy-ion accelerator. Considering limitations the pandemic posed, FRIB proposed to hold the 2021 meeting virtually and postpone the in-person event to 2023.

Nearly 300 attendees are participating in the conference, representing 34 countries and 80 institutions.

The conference includes one keynote and three special talks, 66 oral presentations, 321 poster presentations, and 154 papers.

The 2023 conference marks more than 60 years of SRF research and development. SRF technology is a part of many accelerator projects for nuclear physics, particle physics, synchrotron light sources, and free-electron lasers. The SRF conference is organized by an international group of experts, who meet at a host location to discuss the latest advances in the field.

At the conference, scientists, engineers, students, and industrial partners both domestic and international are presenting and discussing the latest developments in SRF science, technology, and applications. The program includes invited talks, poster sessions, a keynote talk, and a tour of FRIB. The conference also provides opportunities for students and early-career researchers to present their work.

Leaders in the SRF community from national and international facilities are well represented in the conference program, including the Institute for Rare Isotope Science, South Korea; the European Spallation Source, Sweden; the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), Switzerland; Shanghai Advanced Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences (SARI-CAS), China; Oak Ridge National Laboratory; RIKEN, Japan; the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK), Japan; the German Electron Synchrotron (DESY), Germany; TRIUMF, Canada; Brookhaven National Laboratory; Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory; SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory; Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility; and many universities.

The international SRF community helped develop the technology that is key to operating FRIB’s high-power linear accelerator (linac). FRIB’s linac consists of 46 cryomodules of six different types. The cryomodules contain SRF resonators and superconducting solenoid magnets. Operating at cryogenic temperatures of 2 kelvin (K) and 4.5 K, the SRF resonators accelerate the beam with high voltage (> 1 million volts) while the solenoids steer and focus it to hit a target, producing rare isotopes.

In his welcome address at SRF 2023, FRIB Laboratory Director Thomas Glasmacher thanked the SRF community for its profound impact on establishing and now operating FRIB.

“At the heart of FRIB is SRF technology developed and curated by this community,” he said. “Without the SRF community, there would be no FRIB. Thank you very much for welcoming us, teaching us SRF technology, and for allowing us to host this conference.”

Michigan State University (MSU) operates the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) as a user facility for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science (DOE-SC), supporting the mission of the DOE-SC Office of Nuclear Physics. User facility operation is supported by the DOE-SC Office of Nuclear Physics as one of 28 DOE-SC user facilities.

The  U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science  is the single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in the United States and is working to address some of today’s most pressing challenges. For more information, visit  energy.gov/science .

2023 Retreat at Fallen Leaf Lake

• by Cameron Vasquez
• March 21, 2024

Every year for the past 20-ish years, the T32 Training Program in Molecular and Cellular Biology hosts an annual retreat at Fallen Leaf Lake to foster cohesiveness and community.  In October 2023, we joined the UC Davis T32 graduate students and faculty on their retreat.  

A brisk 3.5-hour drive to Fallen Leaf Lake, a smallish lake near Lake Tahoe, took us to a cabin-style conference center (and resort where Stanford alumni spend their summers) that has stood for more than a century. Over this retreat weekend, I took in the wooded scenery and intriguing science.

The first evening was for the late-night poster session. My cabin mate, a UC Davis MARC undergraduate, gave a poster presentation on chronic acetaminophen intake’s effect on hepatocyte health. Other undergraduates, grad students, and even faculty also presented their work. I enjoyed the posters and power point presentations that showcased research, with many engaging ones. These talks made me even more enthusiastic for graduate school; at the time, I thought, "I could be involved in graduate school research within the next year! I could be researching similar topics and questions discussed here by then. I could even be presenting my graduate school research at a department retreat with other like-minded researchers." How exciting!

On Saturday afternoon, we had a small block of free time to explore the area, and we all partook in various activities. I went kayaking with fellow PREP scholars Andrew and Christian. The silence of the lake environment was even more apparent out in the middle of the water. There were even better views of the mountain faces teeming with trees from that little kayak (although the thought that I might drop my phone whilst taking pictures did cross my mind). Afterwards we played volleyball with other students. Twelve of us played at any one time with others on the sidelines ready to substitute at a moment’s notice. It was a joyous time connecting with each other this way.

The Fallen Leaf retreat includes yearly traditions. Faculty members try to guide students up hikes to the peak of the mountains overlooking the lake every year. I say try because in recent years, the students typically do not complete the hike and turn back. The faculty said that not packing water was a reason for this ( …well…if they’re talking about the summit of Mt. Tallac, the faculty have a point – it’s over 9700 ft. and not a casual stroll for the unprepared. Seriously. – Editor ). Fortunately, this year was different – a group of students triumphed!

A Saturday morning polar bear lake plunge is another of these traditions. Instead, I decided to go kayaking at the time people were doing the polar bear plunge. So, I did not do the plunge… until 7:45am on Sunday. This last day of the trip was the only chance I had left. Andrew stood on the dock just in case. Then I jumped. One second underwater passed, and I felt nothing. All was calm. Maybe a half second went by before I was super cold from head to toe and paddled hastily back to the dock ( …mmm….you can watch the video and check out the timing and spatial coordinates for yourself -- Editor ). What a way to wake up!

Going to a retreat like this was a nice way to meet other like-minded researchers and to keep in touch with those I’d met UC Davis as an undergrad or in campus DEI programs. It was also pleasant to see former research colleagues. Hearing updates about what my network of peers are working on is neat, and it may be possible for us to collaborate on research in the future.

Living – albeit temporarily – in the cabins has left me with a more nuanced appreciation for the privilege of living amidst California’s natural wonders. Waking up to the serenity of the lake, walking amongst the trees from the cabin for breakfast, watching the nighttime stars….it was a small paradise and we in PREP were grateful to be guests.

The retreat further amped up my enthusiasm for graduate school. I will soon be conducting graduate school research of my own, it could possibility be related to current research at UC Davis, and I will get to connect with a community of colleagues at my graduate school at events like the Fallen Leaf Retreat.
