Call for Posters & Demos
The session for posters and demos will take place during the reception on Monday evening. Posters, preferably in format A0 will be displayed for networking and engagement opportunities.
Instead of a classical poster, we also invite you to submit a proposal for a demo. This can be a tool, a website, or anything you have been working on and want to show to the community. All materials presented in this session will be published online after the conference through Zenodo.
