📋 Guidelines

  • Posters: Presenters are expected to be available at their posters during the designated poster sessions. However, all posters will be displayed for the entire duration of the symposium and will be situated near the coffee break areas to facilitate conversation and interaction among participants.

    • The mandatory poster format is A0 (841 mm x 1189 mm). Presenters should bring the posters printed to the symposium. Please note that there is no possibility of printing at the conference.
