Day 3: February 26, 2022

Call for Presentations for Pitch Sharing Session

Tell us in 5 minutes and with 3 slides “What is your research?", "Why it is

important?" and "How it is going to change the world?”

The competition is open to students (PhD, Masters, Bachelors) and early

career researchers working on biogeotechnics and allied fields

To participate, submit a presentation (maximum 3 slides) by 22nd February

2022 to hello.agerp@gmail.com (cc:surabhi.28.09.91@gmail.com)

If shortlisted, you will be invited to deliver the presentation during the

International Workshop on biogeotechnics at 14:00 (AEST) 26th February
2022

All the shortlisted presenters will get an opportunity to showcase their

research to a large international geotechnical audience that regularly attend
the AGERP lecture series

The session will be judged by an independent judging panel and a certificate

will be awarded to the best presenter

Keynote presentations scheduled for Day 1 (24th Februray) and Day 2 (25th February) are overleaf
