You must clearly specify in your poster how others can obtain your data, i.e., by listing the starting URL and the steps required to obtain the data. In your analysis, you may concentrate on a single country (e.g., your own country), a block of countries in an economic or political region, or even the entire world. You can also focus on a single year or on the temporal development, or on subregions/subareas within a country (if you can obtain such data). You are allowed to work individually or in a small group of up to five participants on your poster. Posters will be judged according to these criteria: (a) Appropriateness of analysis (b) Novelty of approaches used in the analysis (c) Clarity of objectives, approaches, displays, and results (d) Significance of findings (e) Generalizability of approaches to data sets in other arenas. (f) Overall quality of poster Not all posters are expected to meet all five criteria to the same degree. Your poster may (but need not) be accompanied by a short description (maximum five pages). All materials must be submitted in .pdf format ________________________________ DATA SETS: Your primary data set must come from one of the international organizations such as: - World Bank - http://data.worldbank.org - United Nations - http://www.un.org/en/databases/#stats - World Health Organization - http://www.who.int/research/en/ DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: Final submissions (PDF) are due on 15 May 2014.
