Presenting the Now and Next Research Competition. Five minutes to bridge the gap between today’s indoor air science and tomorrow’s global impact.
The Now and Next Competition isn't just a presentation; it’s a masterclass in scientific communication. Participants have five minutes to command the stage:
The NOW (3 Minutes): Dive into the data. Clearly and concisely explain your current research, methodology, and findings to your peers and the ISIAQ community.
The NEXT (2 Minutes): Zoom out. Pitch the broader impact of your work. How does this research change the world? What is your vision for the future of indoor environments?
Who: Open to all current Master's and PhD students.
Scope: Your research must align with the fields of indoor air quality, indoor environments, or indoor climate science.
To apply, you will need to provide:
Presentation Title: A catchy but scientifically accurate headline for your 5-minute talk.
The "Now" Summary: A 200-word abstract focused on your current data and methodology.
The "Next" Statement: A 150-word "Impact Pitch" explaining the future vision or broader application of your work.
