296 contributionsPoster Programme
All posters are on display for the whole duration of the Conference in the two poster areas on the ground floor, where they are arranged by scientific topic. Posters should be put up either on 7 September, upon arrival at the Opening Ceremony, or on the morning of 8 September, before the first keynote lecture, and removed at the close of the Conference. Presenting authors are invited to stand beside their posters during the two poster sessions — Wednesday 9 September, 14:30–15:00, and Thursday 10 September, 16:00–16:30 — to engage with colleagues wishing to discuss their work in greater depth.
