Poster presenters

The C3E Poster Competition is an opportunity for students and early-career researchers to participate in a poster competition at the 12th Annual C3E Women in Clean Energy Symposium at MIT. The poster competition exposes symposium attendees to cutting-edge research in a variety of clean energy fields.

A poster judging committee, with wide-ranging expertise, selected the most compelling poster submissions for presentation at the symposium with the intent of selecting posters from a variety of institutions, topics, and disciplines. From among those posters presented at the symposium, five posters were selected to earn a cash prize, which were announced at the symposium.
