Selection criteria
Selection will be made based on (i) research excellence, (ii) novelty of science, and (iii) relevance to the topic of the meeting. We also encourage the participation of those that have an orthogonal view or use a novel approach that can benefit the field. We aim for a reasonable gender balance that reflects the overall distribution of gender among all applications. All accepted participants will have the opportunity to present their work either in a talk or as a poster. We seek to have a good representation of students and post-doctoral researchers as well as a good representation of the international community. If there are too many equally qualified applicants, we will consider demographics and gender and give priority to junior scientists, postdocs, and young group leaders.
Abstract guidelines
The abstract should be in English and display all authors and their full affiliation, a title, and a short text describing your research. It should not exceed 300 words. Please indicate if you wish to present a talk.
Poster specifications
Posters should be in A0 portrait format.
