Poster Presentations<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this Poster Session, CoE members from WPs and MFs have the chance to present a poster that complements or extends their oral presentation. The poster session will take the format of a guided tour: Groups of approx. 15 people will be led by one CoE Key Researcher and one CoE Postdoc through the poster displays. The poster session at the CoE Annual Meeting will take place on Monday, October 20th, from 14:15 to 16:15<\/strong>. Please use the drop-down function to inform yourself about poster presenters and titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
