The Undergraduate Research Conference (URC) held in conjunction with the 10th Singapore Conference on Applied Psychology (SCAP2026) will take place on 8 December 2026, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, at the Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium.
Overview:
We invite undergraduate students to participate in the URC, which will run in parallel with the SCAP Conference. Students will have the opportunity to present their Psychology research through poster presentations at the conference.
Poster Presentation:
Your poster will be displayed in a designated area, and you will answer questions about your research during networking breaks.
Poster presentation guidelines:
• Posters must be A0 size (841mm wide x 1189mm high) or smaller.
What makes a good poster?
• Important information should be readable from about 2 metres away
• Title should be short, comprehensible and draws interest
• Word count of about 300 to 800 words
• Use of bullets, numbering, and headlines make it easy to read
• Effective use of graphics, colour and fonts
• Includes acknowledgments, your name and institutional affiliation
In addition to attending keynote presentations and presenting their posters, students can look forward to a series of planned activities. These may include career talks, as well as sessions on presentation and research skills. The detailed programme will be sent to all conference delegates closer to the conference dates.
