AFFICHE

OVERVIEW:
Research projects, Internships, Research Awards etc.!! Every
undergraduate student in the engineering institutes is aware of these
terms. Many of these students are already exposed to the experience of
research projects through various opportunities provided in the
institutes or through internships.
AZeotropy 2015 brings to you Affiche (Affiche: French for poster), the
poster presentation competition, for the ingenious and technical
people who are never tired of research!
Research is to see what everybody else has seen,
and to think what nobody else has thought
-Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
The Symposium provides the opportunity to the undergraduate
students to present their hard work of sleepless nights of research work
through a poster. The event is a great platform for students to present
their research work and research skills to the highly experienced
scientists and industrialists of those fields. The event is also a great
opportunity for students to explore the potential and diversity of
research projects in Chemical Engineering.

OBJECTIVE
To design a poster of the research work undertaken by you through a
project and present it in the Symposium of AZeotropy 2015 at IIT
Bombay.

Biotechnology and bio-medicines

Green technology and sustainable energy
CFD for multiphase systems
Nanoscience and nanotechnology
Process control, optimization and safety analysis
Development of novel reactors and separation processes
Materials and Polymer technology
Novelty in catalysis, adsorption, absorption and chromatography
Innovation in thermodynamic processes for a sustainable future

RULES/INSTRUCTIONS
Participant must currently be an undergraduate student.
A single participant may apply for multiple topics provided the
research projects are mutually exclusive.
Participants should submit abstracts/posters of the research
project of their OWN work.
Any data forged will result in immediate elimination from the
competition as well as future poster making competitions in
AZeotropy.

 Participants can also submit their posters of research work done

during any internship with due permission of the firm/guide.
If the research is performed by a group of students, only one
entry is allowed for the project.
The applications would be scrutinized and only shortlisted
candidates would be called for poster presentation at AZeotropy
2015 in IIT Bombay.
The final selection of the nominated candidates rests with team
AZeotropy 2015.
Posters proposal/Abstract submission
Deadline for submission of proposal (abstract) is 1st February 2015.
A poster proposal is an abstract of not more than 500 words and must
give a fair enough idea of your intended poster presentation. It MUST
contain the following details:

Topic
Name of institute/firm where the research was undertaken
Name of the professor or guide
Objectives of the research project
Name of the team members (if a group project)
Duration of research work
Your contribution in the project (experiments, literature survey,
data analysis, simulation etc.)

 Application of the project in real life scenario (if any)

Results and Conclusions drawn from the research project
Awards received previously for the research work/ poster (if any)
(optional)
NOTE: It is a MUST to send the abstracts in the above format
Send your abstracts to shrikant@azeotropy.com
Subject of the mail: Affiche (Abstract), AZeotropy 2015
Deadline for submission of proposal (abstract) is 1st February 2015.
The poster will be produced later, when you know if your poster
proposal has been accepted or not. In case no communication is
received by an applicant, it may be presumed that he/she has not been
short listed by the Selection Committee. No correspondence will be
entertained in this regard.
POSTER MAKING
Final poster deadline: 8th February 2015
Once you are notified about your shortlist, it is advised that you
immediately start making your poster. The posters should be submitted
in PDF or JPEG image format only. Files submitted in any other format
will not be considered.

Submit your files to shrikant@azeotropy.com

Subject of the mail: Affiche (Poster), AZeotropy 2015
Pointers on how to make a poster (Very important):
If you are making the poster for the first time, use the PowerPoint file
on our website. It will simplify your task pretty much.
1. Make it clean. (Use a good template. Make one if you can.)
2. The standard size for an international poster is 120 cm x 90 cm.
3. The Topic should be visible to any person in the hall. Keep it on the
top.
4. Give Credit. You never know when it will bite you back.
5. Firstly, make a report of your research!
6. A rough guideline should be like a journal.
a. Introduction
b. Abstract
c. Objectives
d. Experiments
e. Observations

f. Results and Discussions

g. Conclusions
h. Credits/Acknowledgements
7. Give your contact! Very Important!
8. Verify your poster with your guides or whomever you did your
research with.
9. Kindly refer to the sample posters from the NIMS International
Conference 2012, present on the website
The selected entries of poster will be duly notified. In case no
communication is received by an applicant, it may be presumed that
he/she has not been short listed by the Selection Committee. No
correspondence will be entertained in this regard.
Accepted posters will be displayed in the conference hall area.
Printing of the poster will be done by team AZeotropy 2015.
Criteria:
The jury will make the choice based on:
1. the substance content and impact of your research work
2. visual attraction
3. balanced between text presentation and graphic/visual
communication

4. appealing structure, readability and overall appearance

5. Last but not the least: your answers of the technical questions
asked by the judges when you present the poster in the
Symposium
