Have you conducted undergraduate statistics research?
If so, you can present your own work at the conference. To do so, you will need to make a 5-minute recorded presentation. During the conferences, participants will be able to view your video and post questions. From 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), we ask that presenters be available to answer questions in real time.
Starting with eUSR 2018, we have now added a competition for Best Video Presentation. All video submissions will be eligible for this prize. Presentations will be judged based on the presenter's ability to convey the main research question and findings, the originality and significance of the work, the quality of the slides, the organization and flow of the presentation, and their ability to answer questions during the Friday Q&A.
Submit a title and an abstract HERE by Friday, October 18th, 2024. Abstracts will be accepting on a rolling basis. For abstracts that are accepted, videos must be created and uploaded HERE by Friday, Nov 1st, 2024. Read the following below to answer any questions you might have on creating the video presentation.
