Talks

Deadline for Abstract Submission: 8th of January, 2024

GENERAL INFORMATION:
  • As well as developing your communication skills, giving a talk can be a great way to organise thoughts related to your research and obtain valuable feedback.
  • Due to time contraints, only graduate students will be permitted to give talks.
GUIDELINES AND TIPS
  • You may present your own research, a summary of the research conducted by your group, or a mixture of both.
  • The planned duration of the talks will be announced shortly with sufficient time in the schedule for questions from the audience.
  • The audience will consist of graduates as well as others with a wide range of interests who may not be physicists. Talks should therefore be aimed at a general audience and should not be too technical. The skill and experience to be gained is in making the talk understandable to everyone.

Posters

Deadline for Abstract Submission: 8th of January, 2024

GENERAL INFORMATION:
  • All the posters will be exhibited for the whole day. The presenting authors are requested to be present at their posters during the scheduled time for discussions.
  • All posters should be of A0 portrait format.
  • If you are bringing a printed poster with you, please come in the afternoon before or early on the conference day to set up your poster on the poster board.
