Poster Presentation Competition

Celebrating 50 Years of Excellence:

We are thrilled to announce the 50th Anniversary Celebration of the Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics Societies of St. Stephen’s College! Since their inception in 1974, these societies have fostered curiosity, innovation, and academic excellence.

To mark this incredible milestone, we are hosting a grand celebration on February 28, 2025 – National Science Day. This special event will blend the legacy of our societies with the spirit of science, featuring engaging competitions, thought-provoking discussions, and exciting activities designed to inspire the next generation of thinkers and innovators.

The Poster Presentation Competition is not just an exhibition—it’s a platform where creativity meets scientific excellence. Whether your topic is physics, chemistry, mathematics, or an interdisciplinary fusion, this is your chance to visualize, present, and communicate groundbreaking ideas in a compelling way.

With a showcase of analytical depth and clarity, only the most impactful presentations will stand out. So, bring your best concepts, refine your visuals, and let your research make waves!
