There is a data projector available and a PC computer (Windows 7) with the basic PDF and PowerPoint viewers (MS Office 2010) installed. We highly encourage presenters to use the laptop provided and bring their presentation in a PDF file on a USB stick (and test the system during the previous coffee break at the latest). It is possible to use one's own computer, but because setting it up reduces the time given for the presentation itself, we encourage presenters to use the provided computer unless they are certain they know what they are doing.


Posters

Artamonov Anton: The world-wide neutron monitor network as a tool to detect solar neutrons: New calculations.
Asvestari Eleanna: An empirical model for the reconstruction of the cosmic ray modulation in the heliosphere.
Kukkonen Soile: Mapping and dating of the Harmakhis Vallis channel, Mars.
Lähteenmäki Anne: Aalto goes to space -mapping our universal environment.
Mason Andrew: XFAST – XMM-Newton FincA Serendipitous Target survey.
Samuli Kotiranta: Tuorla Exoplanet Search.

At the poster session each presenter should give a short (2 minute) presentation ideally with a single pdf/ppt slide, summarising the main point of their poster. This should not be interpreted as "explain my poster in 120 seconds", but seen as an excercise in capturing the essence of the research in the poster and explaining that in a clear and concise way. The details are in the poster so leave those out — instead, get people wanting to read them and your poster.
