RAPid IMPACT competition "Pitch Your Science."
SPE has teamed with RAPRA (Rubber & Plastics Research Association) to present the RAPid IMPACT competition “Pitch Your Science.” Registration is now open for this brand-new opportunity for students and postdocs in plastics- and polymer-related subjects to:
- Sharpen critical business communications and presentation skills.
- Gain high-level exposure to international plastics-industry leaders.
- Work closely with a mentor who is a plastics professional.
- Enhance your resume as a stand-out job candidate.
- Win cash prizes (first place = $5000!).
RAPid IMPACT is all about how to "Pitch Your Science" to take a novel technical idea/concept and bring it successfully through the commercialization process. It will help you build skills and competencies that will be invaluable to any future employer.
If you’re an undergrad, post-grad, PhD, or postdoctoral scholar in a plastics- or polymer-related field, you should check out Pitch Your Science, including the contest rules and prizes, and register today!
We’ll follow up with more information—including our free webinar series on how to structure your presentation—in the coming weeks, so watch your email! Or give us a call at +1 203-775-0471.
PS: Registrations and presentations for RAPid IMPACT will be accepted from January 23 to May 31, 2012.
