Day & Time:
-
Thursday, 17 September 2026 (13:45–14:45)
Posters can be set up on Wednesday after 12:30 PM and must be removed by 13:30 PM on Friday.
As such, they will be displayed in the Atrium throughout the whole event. Poster presenters are only expected to be present at their posters during the dedicated poster session on Thursday, when they should be available to answer questions and present their work to other attendees. During coffee breaks, poster presenters are free to network and view other posters.
Guidelines:
-
Please print your poster before the conference and bring it with you. We will not provide on-site printing services or print it for you in advance.
-
Posters should not be hung up or taken down during sessions with ongoing presentations. Please do so only during breaks.
-
Each presenter will be provided with a vertical poster board. Note that the maximum poster size is limited to A0: 84 x 120 cm / 33 x 47 in (width x height) in vertical orientation (portrait).
The list of posters, along with the poster numbers, titles, and presenting author, can be found below. Please contact us if the poster presenter's name is incorrect in this list (last updated on 08 September 2026).
