RESEARCH CANVAS COMPETITION 2022
In the spirit of improving scientific communication skills and to create a platform for community-based research, UTM Library and Springer, are thrilled to invite all students to participate in the 5th UTM Research Canvas Competition 2022 starting from 16th AUGUST 2022 UNTIL 24th OCTOBER 2022.
Research Canvas Competition is a multidisciplinary competition that invites participants to share their research and ideas through text and illustrations. The goal of the canvas is that; it can be easily understood by all walks of life just by looking at the canvas without any presenter being present. The canvas can be created with the help of graphics tools.
This year we would love the participants to share their research and ideas relating to at least two (maximum three) of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals in their canvas. At its heart, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), are an urgent call for action by all countries – developed and developing – in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forest.
