Instead of a conventional poster session, short talks (10 minutes with 5-minute Q&A) and flash talks (3 minutes with 2-minute Q&A) will be selected from submitted miniposters based on the scientific quality, novelty and topic. All submitted miniposters will be available to participants in a booklet. For detailed information and to submit abstracts, go to www.etw2023.org.
