Special early-career poster session (Sun, 20 Sep)

This session, organized by Ewelina Wojtkowiak (Adam Mickiewicz University), will be geared towards researchers at the early stages of their academic journey, including undergraduate, MA, PhD, and early-career post-PhD scholars, wishing to present their projects to a larger scientific community and, thus, receive valuable feedback on their work. Proposals are welcome from individuals at any stage of their career. Researchers should submit their abstracts via the online submission system following the same criteria as for regular oral and poster presentations, selecting 'early-career poster session' where appropriate. To add value to this experience, we encourage participants to provide the names of three experts (together with their affiliations) who might potentially make a significant contribution to their projects.
