Selection criteria
Participants will be selected based on their submitted abstracts or, if no poster or short talk is to be presented, on their cv/affiliation (for principal investigators) or motivation letter (for 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.
Abstract guidelines
Abstracts should not exceed 300 words and should include a title, all author names and their full affiliations. The name of the poster/short-talk presenter should be underlined.
Poster specifications
Posters should be portrait orientation. Poster board dimensions are 1.00 m x 1.00 m with an actual display area of 94 cm height x 80 cm width.
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.
