In the poster session, all students present their posters at the same time. The authors remain with their posters while the audience walks around to view the work and talk to the authors. Please print out the poster yourself and bring it with you to the conference. The poster can be handed in at the conference office before the poster session. The StuFo organising team will then hang it up at the right time.

The research does not have to be completed; interim results are also welcome. It is possible to adapt the final contribution to process-related changes. The research should not be more than one year old.

Comprehensibility:

As StuFos is interdisciplinary, the abstract should also be understandable to non-specialists.

Language:

The abstract can be submitted in German or English.

You will present your talk in a session with up to two other presentations. These presentations will cover a similar topic to yours, as far as this is possible. Including the introduction and conclusion, each session will last a maximum of 60 minutes. Each presenter will have 15 minutes (10 minutes for the presentation and 5 minutes for discussion). Each session will be chaired by a chairperson who will introduce the speaker, ensure that the schedule is adhered to and moderate the discussion.

Your presentation should be understandable to an audience unfamiliar with the subject. Try to get conference participants who are not familiar with the subject excited about your topic by demonstrating the relevance of your work and explaining technical terms sufficiently. Make sure you can clearly explain your research question and describe your methodological approach in sufficient detail so that it is clear how you arrived at your findings.

Laptops (Windows) and projectors will be available in every room. Bring your presentation on a USB stick and transfer it to the available laptop at the beginning of the session. Therefore, please arrive at the room on time. To be on the safe side, it is advisable to email the presentation to yourself as well.
