- Web Poster Ideas
Here are just some examples of possible web project themes which may help
guide you to the selection of your project.
Remember:
1) you should follow your passion, do what interests you and your team most;
2) it
should mainly focus on a scientific problem that may/may not have a policy or economic element (please do not consider economic or policy analysis for this project;
3) make it manageable in
scope, even though you want to don’t try to solve the world’s problems with this
project.
