Selection criteria
Participants will be selected based on the submitted abstracts or, if no poster or short talk is to be presented, on their cv/affiliation (principal investigators) or motivation letter (students/post-docs). We will aim for a broad coverage of countries, institutions, and research fields. We will also pay attention to achieving a good balance between scientists at different stages of their careers.
Please be aware that the number of participants is limited and it is therefore possible that the workshop will fill up before the registration deadline.

Poster specifications
Posters should be portrait orientation and A0 format (119 cm high x 84 cm wide).
Poster presenters are responsible for mounting and removal of their posters. They are expected to be available at their poster for discussion during their assigned session.
