Selection criteria
Participants will be selected on the basis of their scientific excellence, with strong consideration given to students (undergraduate and postgraduate), postdocs, and early stage investigators, ensuring an excellent gender, geographic, career stage and research topic balance.
The Scientific Committee will select 18 applicants for short talks (at least 50% of them PhD students, postdocs or researchers from Latin America) and 20 applicants for flash talks (mostly students and postdocs), taking into account excellence, research area, gender balance and geographical diversity. All other candidates will present their work in poster sessions.
Abstract guidelines
Abstracts (maximum 300 words) must be written in English. The organisers will review all abstracts and selected participants will receive an email to let them know whether their abstracts have been selected for a short talk, flash talk or poster presentation.
Poster specifications
The poster can be prepared with free design and fonts.
Please note the poster sizes:
Width: 90 cm

This corresponds to a vertical A0 format.

Sustainability
SATELLITE MEETING: The international course on Optics, Forces and Development will be organised in Santiago just before the Workshop (March 5-14), to train students from Latin America. Three international speakers of the course (V. Ruprecht, B. Steventon and A. Martinez-Arias) will teach in this course, so their trip to Chile will serve for two consecutive events. In addition, A. Martinez-Arias will give a lecture open to the general public the day before the workshop.
REMOTE LECTURE: We have invited C. Extavour to give a remote lecture at the beginning of the EVO-DEVO session on the last day of the workshop.
CATERING: Only vegetarian food will be served on one of the days, ingredients will be sourced locally, and single-use wares and plastic bottles will be avoided.
VENUE: Travel between accomodation and the meeting venue will be primarily on foot.
We will provide bus transportation from the hotel to the meeting venue and vice versa only once in the morning and once in the afternoon, for those who cannot (or prefer not) to walk to the meeting venue or hotel.
