Poster logistics

Poster logistics

The conference will have both in-person posters and online posters.

For in-person participants, there will be two poster sessions. The first group of posters will be displayed on Monday and Tuesday December 4-5, and the second group of posters will be displayed Wednesday-Friday December 6-8. The size of the posters is the standard A0 format: 841 mm wide x 1190 mm tall (portrait mode). Adhesive poster putty will be provided for displaying the posters. All in-person presenters are invited to give a 1 minute summary of their poster in poster flash sessions that will be held throughout the week.

We will use Zenodo as the repository for both in-person and online posters. We will also use the conference Slack to allow easy browsing of the posters and enable online discussion about them. Please see the information below on how to upload your presentations to Zenodo. Please upload your presentations by December 1, 2023. If you do not want to upload your poster to Zenodo but would like your poster to appear in the Slack channel, please send your poster to [email protected].

Posters will then be uploaded to the Slack workspace by the LOC. The Slack workspace will have two types of channels regarding the posters:

  • General channels to browse the posters, per scientific category: These will include all the PDFs of the posters to facilitate browsing them. These channels will be set to “Read-only” for participants. They will be divided by category and by online vs in-person, for a total of 10 channels. Each entry in this channel with the PDF of the poster will also include a tag leading to an individual channel of that poster.
  • Individual channels for each poster: these channels will host all discussions about each poster. There will be one channel per poster, easily accessible from a link in the general “browser” channel.

Everyone will automatically join the browser channels, but not the individual channels. More information about the conference Slack workspace can be found here.

How to upload posters to Zenodo

We wish to make the presented posters available through Zenodo (https://www.zenodo.org), a CERN-developed platform for permanent storage of digital content. General information about the "ESO conference proceedings 2.0” at Zenodo can be found at http://www.eso.org/sci/meetings/zenodo.html.

The main advantages of Zenodo are that the content will be:

  • citable: Zenodo will assign DOIs (Digital Object Identifiers; http://www.doi.org) to all submissions
  • discoverable: the ESO Library will ensure the inclusion of the conference collection in the ADS Abstract Service
  • archived: Zenodo will preserve the material permanently

The Zenodo privacy notice is available here: https://about.zenodo.org/privacy-policy
