Posters and flash talks
Posters
- Poster sessions are held on both days at the immediate vicinity of the main lecture hall.
Session 1 (6. September): 1) Materials, 2) Devices & information
Session 2 (7. September): 3) Algorithms & software, 4) Applications - The posters should be mounted at latest during the lunch break on each day.
- All participants are requested to print out their posters prior to the event. There is no printing service available on site.
- The dimensions of the poster should not exceed A0 (85 cm wide x 119 cm high).
- The text, illustrations, etc. should be bold enough to be read from a distance of two meters.
- Pins for mounting the posters will be available.
- Remember to dismount your poster at the end of the day. All posters left in the venue will be discarded.
Flash talks
- InstituteQ group leaders are requested to give a maximum 5+2 minute flash talk to introduce their quantum science and technology related group activities each day.
- Maximum four slides (.pdf format) per flash talk is allowed.
- The slides should be pre-delivered to the organisers by 4 September. Send them by e-mail to minna.gunes(AT)aalto.fi. Name your file as follows: surname_focus_flash-talk_session number (Example: “Gunes_algorithms and software_flash-talk_session 1”)
- All flash-talks will be compiled into a single file for each session to avoid delays while changing between presenters.
- Please begin your presentation with an introduction of yourself, your organisation, and your organisation’s primary research interests. For the rest of the presentation, explain the essence of your work.
