Design notes

About this presentation

An academic research planning board gives students, educators, and project teams a practical way to organize a study from its first question to its final findings. The clean blue and grey design creates a professional academic setting without overwhelming the information, making it suitable for classroom presentations, proposal reviews, and thesis planning sessions.

What's inside this template: six editable 48 x 36 inch poster layouts adapted for 16:9 presentations, with structured spaces for research questions, objectives, source notes, methods, evidence, timelines, and conclusions. Use the included charts, frames, lines, and shapes to create a research project roadmap, compare sources, or present a concise literature review. The single-font Inter system supports a consistent reading experience, while the restrained palette keeps dense material organized.

This template is made for undergraduate and graduate students, instructors guiding research projects, and teams preparing an academic study overview. Edit every text block, diagram, and visual element in PowerPoint or Google Slides, then export or share the finished deck in the format your course or institution requires. It works especially well for thesis proposal meetings, poster-style class assignments, research updates, and methodology discussions.

Perfect for: thesis proposal meeting; undergraduate research assignment; literature review presentation; graduate progress update; research methodology workshop.
