Educational grant

Typically, peer-reviewed posters are presented at industry congresses, conferences and meetings or through subscription-based journals – this site gives the authors another channel to present their findings.  The site also provides citable references that informed the research, without losing copyright protection for the individual authors.

Procter & Gamble (P&G), the makers of Crest and Oral-B, along with Stephen Hancocks Limited announced today that the open-access, scientific site, World Dental Posters (www.worlddentalposters.com), will now be sponsored through an educational grant from P&G.

Philip Giorgi, managing director and co-owner of Stephen Hancocks Limited, conceived the idea for World Dental Posters after seeing a pile of posters discarded at numerous international dental conferences and congresses. He realized there was an opportunity to identify a way to keep this research available for others to see around the world.

“We are delighted that P&G shares our vision for this free, open access site created as a way to disseminate research through posters beyond current possibilities,” said Philip Giorgi. “Providing researchers with the opportunity to connect and share their ideas and findings is a fundamental cornerstone of scientific advancement.”
