Student Poster Session at POPL'14
In a departure from the student lightning talks of the last few years, POPL'14 will have a student poster session in conjunction with the main reception. All students attending POPL are strongly encouraged to participate, and our goal is to allow as many students as possible to present themselves and their work to the community.
Suitable topics are descriptions of work in progress, thesis projects, honours projects and relevant research being or to be published elsewhere.
This is not a competition, but an opportunity to get feedback and suggestions from world-class researchers and also to market yourself as a future PhD student, postdoc, faculty member, etc.
Several students collaborating on single poster is allowed.
Important Dates:
- Poster draft submission deadline: 30/11 anywhere in the world
- Notification of acceptance: 4/12
- Final poster submission: 10/1
- Student poster session: 22/1 in conjunction with the main reception
Questions may be directed to Tobias Wrigstad (tobias.wrigstad@it.uu.se).
Acceptance Criteria
We strive to give as many students as possible a chance to present posters at POPL'14. If we cannot make space for all interested participants due to space or time constraints, we will primarily use seniority criteria rather than quality judgements to make decisions about participation, and favour students not already presenting at POPL'14 or a co-located event over those who are.
