Stranger than Fiction Poster Competition
We’re excited to invite you to the public poster presentation for IEEE Strath’s “Stranger than Fiction” poster competition, where presenters will be showing off recent innovations with the creative twist of applying them to future sci-fi uses! The abstracts come from a range of disciplines and include decentralised autonomous space communication (to defend against extraterrestrial threats), hyper-spectral imaging (to enhance human vision), maglev technology (for a maglev space elevator), and even a prosthetic heart!
The competition is in celebration of the 82nd World Science Fiction Convention being hosted in Glasgow this year, hence the sci-fi twist, and our judges reflect that coming from academia as well as creative fields, including Scotland’s own sci-fi author, Ken Macleod. The winners of the competition will be present their posters at the convention, as well as being given full passes, thanks to generous funding from the IEEE.
The presentation is on 24th July, between 6 – 8pm, in the Strathclyde University Students Union (Teaching & Learning Building), on the Level 1 Concourse. The terrace bar will also be open, so it’s an opportunity to socialise as well as see the cutting edge of science and technology!
It would be helpful if you could register ahead of the event using the links, but feel free to turn up on the day.
We hope to see you there!
