CEU24 Application Instructions
NOTE: Categories have changed this year. Posters: Category 17, Talks Category 18.
Students who have already presented their project at a CEU poster session (Category No. 17) or with advanced projects are encouraged to submit an abstract for a DNP oral presentation in the undergraduate session (Category No. 18) on the DNP submission form. (Note: Students who wish to present an oral presentation in their topical session must submit their APS abstract by July 08). The CEU program only financially supports students accepted to present posters but welcomes all undergraduates to take part in the CEU program's open activities. Please fill out the CEU application and indicate you submitted an oral abstract.
Priority may be given to junior and senior students and those who have not previously attended a CEU conference.
Please submit your poster/oral abstract to the APS before filling out the CEU Application. Your application to the program is not complete until you have filled out both the APS abstract and the CEU application. More information can be found under "Forms" in the menu.
Target Date: All application materials must be received by Friday, August 2, 2024 (5 p.m. Eastern Time). Complete applications (including both CEU application and APS abstract) submitted by this date will receive full consideration. However, we will continue to accept applications until all positions are filled.
CEU24 Eligibility
If you have a research project in nuclear science and are enrolled as an undergraduate student in the fall 2024 semester you are welcome to apply for admission into the CEU program. At this time, funding is only awarded to students who are enrolled in a US institution of higher education even if the research presented was conducted outside of the US.
