We look forward to welcoming you and learning about your research at BEACON 2025!

The conference offers a 1-hour Poster Session after lunch, which will be split into two parts: for the first 30 minutes, half of all presenters will be at their poster, and the other half of presenters will have a chance to go around and learn about the presenters’ works. Then we will switch: for the next 30 minutes, presenters become visitors, and visitors become presenters. The Poster Session is a chance to present your past, current, or planned research, so you can hand in preliminary data, real data, or also the study design. Finally, there will be three poster awards, where you get the chance to win a prize for the best poster in a specific category, rated by your colleagues at the conference!

When designing your poster, please stick to the following formatting requirements (otherwise, your poster may not fit on the poster walls we will provide for you): portrait DIN A0, 118.9 cm (height) by 84.1 cm (width). Bring your printed poster with you on the day of the conference, and we will be happy to help you display your work. Make sure to include your name and your division.
