Posters sessions and competition

The organisers intend to give a high rank for this part of the conference. Each poster should be in two versions, digital (with the localisation of the poster stand) and printed (with QR code to access the digital copy). Both copies should contain information about the author, with a contact data (phone, email, Skype). Digital version would be accessible for all participants of the conference, a dedicated mobile application will make it possible to comment all the posters and vote for them. Each day’s agenda (excluding Thursday) will include poster sessions which will be held in the conference rooms with IT support and short (5 minutes) presentations without discussion (see: programme). Participants will be able to use Power Point but the time will be strictly limited to 5 mintutes. Posters will be presented all the time from Monday morning to Friday evening at the second floor of the venue. On Tuesday, there will be special Poster Exhibition (18:30-19:30).

There will be prizes for the winners. 

  • 7 money prizes (750 PLN per poster)
  • At least one special prize: the winner of which will be chosen from among above mentioned seven: six-month scientific  internship in a selected Polish scientific institution (worth 24 000 PLN per person);
  • EXTRA two prizes of £ 100 each funded by Routledge Publishers
