Posters provide an excellent forum for authors to present their work in an informal and interactive setting. Posters are ideal for presenting speculative subjects or for giving an introduction to interesting, innovative work. Posters are intended to provide authors and participants with the ability to connect with each other and to engage in discussions about the work. Posters are less formal, more interactive, and may provoke argument.

Topics:

The scope of poster topics can include, but are not limited to, the following major topics as they relate to the educational and innovative aspects of India, China and the United States:

• Global education for human development
• Knowledge innovation and social policy
• Science and technology education in the local context
• Impact of emerging technologies on education
• Technology, education and global competitiveness

At the Conference:

Posters will be reviewed and selected by the Poster Committee. The authors of the selected posters will be invited to attend the conference and present their posters in a special area of the conference facility. Conference attendees will be encouraged to read the posters, and to interact with the authors. Selected posters will be published in a booklet that will be presented to conference attendees and made available for download on the ICA Institute after the conference.
Poster presenters must pay the registration fee and are encouraged to actively participate in the conference.

Three poster authors will be selected to present a ten minute talk during the conference.

If selected poster authors can not attend the conference, the poster will not be displayed at the conference but will be part of the printed booklet and available for download.
