Abstract/Objectives

The College of Life Sciences holds an annual graduate student academic conference to enhance the level of thesis writing and promote the quality of academic activities. The conference is divided into two parts: a poster competition and a paper competition. The poster competition encourages students to organize research materials and practice writing research abstracts. It also trains students to orally present their research results within a limited time frame, which prepares them for their master's or doctoral degree examinations. Additionally, the poster competition allows students within the college to observe and exchange research ideas among various labs. The paper competition mainly focuses on research results that have been published in international journals. Winning students are required to orally report their research results in English. The competition is also a way to train students and aims to enhance their competitiveness to pursue international excellence.
