Date: 10 March 2026
Time: 11:00-12:30h CET
Chair: Fiorella Pitaro (Empa, representative of NSC’s ECRs)
Description:
This session serves two purposes:
- to provide early-career researchers (ECRs) with a visible platform to introduce themselves and their work to a broad conference audience, and
- to help attendees efficiently discover posters they would like to visit and discuss in more depth.
The Poster Pitch Session will feature 20 poster pitches, each lasting three minutes. Short periods for audience questions will be included after selected pitches to encourage interaction and address immediate points of interest.
Following the session, participants are encouraged to continue conversations throughout the conference.
All posters presented during this session, as well as all accepted submissions, will be displayed throughout the conference at the venue.
