Graphical Abstract Contest

ARCANE is launching a graphical abstract contest for Ph.D. and post-docs working on projects within its scope. The scope of ARCANE is 17 labs (Cermav, CROMA, DCM, DPM, GIN, IAB, IBS, Institut Néel, LCBM, LETI, LEPMI, LIPHY, LNCMI, LRB, MEM, SyMMES, TIMC) and topic is molecular chemistry. It is not mandatory for the candidates to be financed by ARCANE but their work must relate to the scientific scope of Arcane, which is detailed at this link. Previous winners of the contest are not eligible. All PhDs and post-doc within this scope are encouraged to participate !
 

ARCANE will offer two prizes to be used as a contribution for attending a national or international meeting including registration, travel and hotel fees :
A 750€ contribution for the best graphical abstract selected by the ARCANE Scientific Advisory Board;
A 750€ contribution for the the best graphical abstract selected by the ARCANE PhD and post-doc students.
Note that this contribution must be used before the end of the Ph.D. or the post-doc.

Applicants must submit a figure highlighting one outstanding fact from their project. It can be a key concept, a significant result, a main finding. This catchy figure must be easy to read and must be understandable without the support of a text (but words may be included). Photos taken by the applicant may be used. Persons appearing in photos must give their written consent for diffusion.

ARCANE does not permit the use of generative AI or AI-assisted tools to create or alter images in submitted abstracts.

Format should be as follows:
- 21x14.8cm, vertical or horizontal, 300 dpi
- 24 pts minimum police size
- Only an illustration fully created by the applicant using copyright-free pictures can be submitted.
Note that participation to this graphical abstract contest implies that ARCANE can use any submitted artwork (not only the winner) for reporting or communication purposes.
 
Artworks files in jpeg format need to be sent by e-mail to labex-arcaneuniv-grenoble-alpes.fr (labex-arcane[at]univ-grenoble-alpes[dot]fr)
