Sponsored Student Poster Places

There is limited number of sponsored registration places for bona-fide students from relevant fields. Eligible students will receive free admission to the conference and are expected to present a poster at the conference and online. The best student poster will receive an award at the end of the conference.

To apply, students are encouraged to submit a short poster abstract (100 to 250 words) on any of the subjects relevant to the spirit and objectives of the conference. Applications should be sent to tnc2010@terena.org with the subject ‘TNC 2010 Student Poster‘ by
30 April 2010.

A subpanel of the Program Committee will select the best papers for acceptance and inform all submitting students before the end of the early registration.

Creating a poster presentations

In the last two years, several TNC participants have created high quality poster presentations. An effective poster presentation is not just a standard research paper stuck to a board. It should summarise your work with graphs and images to tell the story and should use text more sparingly. Featuring a poster at TNC will serve as an excellent advertisement for your work, and can act as a great conversation starter with TNC participants. In general, poster presentations are less formal than regular presentations, are more interactive and can provoke various points of view. Selected posters will be displayed in an area close to the parallel sessions and on the conference website.

Guidelines for full paper submission

Conjunctives (words such as "and", and "while" which join words or, phrases together) and common words such as "computer" should be avoided. Abbreviations and acronyms should be spelt out (e.g. "Asynchronous Transfer Mode" instead of "ATM") unless the abbreviation is so well established that the full term is rarely used, for example, use "laser" instead of "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation".
