Poster Session

After a fruitful set of lectures let’s have casual moments where everyone can discuss with the speakers, chat about where the field is going, and present their ongoing work on posters…

Posters will be presented during the lunch breaks. Poster presenters have to register for this session in the application form (the frames are portrait oriented – 170cm tall and 90cm wide).

Young researchers short presentations

We wish to promote young reserachers (PhD students, postdocs) by encouraging them to share their work in front of the audience. In order to overcome the systemic issue of gender ratio inbalance of leading reseacher in th field, we will give the priority to women but anyone is welcome to apply.

Apply directly in the registration form. A selection will be make based on the submitted abstracts. Note it won’t be possible to apply after September 27th.
