On-site Participation
The poster presenters who will be present in Dubrovnik (on-site) are expected to print and set-up their posters in the Poster Hall. The following equipment will be provided by the Organizer:
- a 250 cm (height) x 100 cm (width) board suitable for the portrait oriented A0 posters,
- a sign indicating your poster ID number,
- adhesive tape for poster mounting.
Please note that the poster boards are not supplied with electricity or audiovisual equipment. The conference staff will assist you during the time of poster mounting.
On-site poster presenters will have two assigned poster sessions, one regular session in the Poster Hall (on-site), and one virtual session intended for online audience. The Monday afternoon session (14:30 – 17:00) will be allocated for virtual presentations of on-site posters to the online audience via Fourwaves. Therefore, on-site poster presenters must also upload their posters to the Fourwaves platform.
Posters must be uploaded to Fourwaves by the 10th of September 2022.
Please make sure you have personal access to Fourwaves for your virtual poster session as the computers or any other devices will not be provided by the Organizer.

Virtual participation
The posters of the presenters who will be present remotely (online) will not be printed nor will they be exhibited in the on-site Poster Hall.
The posters will be available online via the Fourwaves platform and will be displayed in a gallery view with search features by keyword, speaker, and poster ID. Each poster will have a dedicated page that includes the poster, as well as an embedded chat window for interactive discussion with the online audience. During the virtual poster sessions, the audience will be presented with the option to join a live video chat with the poster presenter which will allow a real time discussion and engagement.
Posters must be uploaded to Fourwaves by the 10th of September 2022.
