Posters at Quantum Australia 2024

Get your research in front of potential collaborators, investors, employers and more! 

Poster Viewing + Pitch your Research Sessions

In-person poster viewing sessions will be held throughout the Quantum Australia 2024 program. The poster sessions provide an opportunity for postgraduate students and early career researchers to showcase their current and innovative research. A $500 People’s Choice Award will be awarded to the poster that receives the most votes from conference attendees.

For the first time at Quantum Australia, we are also introducing a ‘Pitch Your Research’ session to provide authors an opportunity to present their research poster on the main stage. Up to 5 poster authors (1 author per poster) will be chosen* to provide a 5-minute elevator pitch on stage.  A panel of judges will award $500 to the winner of the best pitch, and $250 to the runner-up.

Submissions are now closed. We will be contacting applicants shortly. For any enquires please contact us on info.sqa@sydney.edu.au 

* Please note: where the first poster author is a student or Early Career Researcher active (working or collaborating) within the Australian quantum community, this will be an advantage
