CALL FOR POSTER – flash presentation
EuroScience Open Forum 2018
Toulouse (France), 9 – 14 July 2018
– SHARING SCIENCE: TOWARDS NEW HORIZONS –
This call seeks proposals of abstracts for the ESOF Poster session.
For the first time, a poster session is an integral part of the ESOF programme. Poster
presentation is a way to visually present research results or relevant initiatives. The aim is to
foster networking and contacts between participants, and to allow presentation of
results/initiatives over several days in a different way than in other sessions. This ensures a
high visibility and offers a possibility of visiting posters to all participants who so wish.
Although poster presentations are not restricted to students and young researchers (who are
less represented among session speakers), this call is especially important for them.
Posters will be exhibited in dedicated areas with specific slots for their authors to be present
and explain their poster with possibility of flash presentations; moments for visiting posters will
be highlighted in the general programme.
Abstract submissions for posters must represent sound science or relevant initiatives related
to science, innovation or dialogue science/society, and should be understandable for scientists
outside the specific discipline as well as for other ESOF attendees (students, industry, science
journalists, social actors and policy makers).
General Poster Session
The General Poster session is open to all ESOF2018 attendees.
Accepted poster abstracts will be available in the ESOF2018 online programme and the
meeting app.
Student Poster Competition
The Student Poster Competition recognises the efforts of students working towards
undergraduate, graduate or doctoral-level degrees. Each applicant can only submit one poster
abstract as principal author.
Posters will be judged by an international jury during the meeting. In each category the winners
will receive a certificate and a reward.
Accepted poster abstracts will be available in the 2018 ESOF online programme and the
meeting app.

presentation close to their poster in front of meeting attendees.
