Submissions

In keeping with the tradition that has developed, there will be no invited speakers. We cordially invite students, postdocs and senior researchers to submit abstracts. Presenters are encouraged to go into their topic in depth.

Contributions from companies and startups are welcome. However, they will be treated and selected on the same basis as academic ones, based on the scientific merit and perceived interest to the community. Product demos are not acceptable (consider becoming a sponsor instead!).

The submissions will be evaluated by a large international committee of scientists for quality, novelty and interest. The committee members will be made public at a later stage.

Contributed oral presentations

• 15 minutes + 5 min questions
• Widescreen format; bring your own laptop and HDMI adapter
• We expect a large number of submissions, therefore, please understand that we cannot accommodate everyone!
• Presenters can choose to be offered a poster slot if they aren’t selected for a talk (this option doesn’t influence the selection process).
• Expect to submit a one-page abstract, with ~300 words text and 1 figure (8.5 cm high, 13 cm wide). We encourage authors to submit an optional small figure to better portray their results.

Contributed posters

• Two poster sessions, 2 h each
• Maximum A0 format, portrait (vertical) orientation
• Expect to submit a one-page abstract, with ~300 words text and 1 figure (8.5 cm high, 13 cm wide). We encourage authors to submit an optional small figure to better portray their results.

• After the profile, you can proceed with “Make a new Submission”

Selection process

We are delighted to inform you that the selection process for contributed talks and posters is now complete. You will shortly receive the notification about your submission.

The selection process relied on the ratings provided by the Scientific Program Committee, a committee of 42 experts from all around the globe, whose list can be found on the conference website. Oral contributions received a median of 4 review and a minimum of 3 reviews. Posters received at least 2 reviews. Reviewers didn’t review abstracts from their own groups.

We received over 200 abstracts! The selection process was competitive. The strongest decision factor has been the recommendation for talk or poster, combined with numeric scores for scientific impact and for originality. The 42 talks were selected based on this process, with very few exceptions made to balance under- or overrepresentation of research groups, scope/topic, as well as favoring early-career researchers.

The community has done an amazing job for the selection process and we are grateful for their time. Thanks to your contributions, we will have again this year a very strong program!

We are looking forward to seeing you in Davos!
