Poster Session

All WISE projects are expected to participate in the poster session.

What to prepare

A poster (or posters) presenting your WISE project(s).

Poster Guidelines

We suggest that your poster briefly include the following sections:

• Introduction
• Research Plan
• Relevance for Sustainability

The poster session is a great opportunity to share your research ideas, plans, and early project outlines. Please note that this is not a performance evaluation – the aim is to introduce yourself and your upcoming work. It’s also a chance to learn from fellow participants, exchange ideas, and begin building connections and collaborations within the WISE community.

General information on how to prepare your poster and files

You choose whether you want to present your poster yourself or together with your PI.

• If you have multiple WISE projects (or multiple students through a WISE Fellowship), you can/should submit multiple posters.
• In the case of WISE Fellows, only submit posters for PhD or postdoc projects that you've started/recruited.
• Please include your WISE project title and make sure your name is clearly visible.
• You must include the full WISE logo (with “Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability” spelled out)  and the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation logo somewhere on the poster. Logos are available here.
• In the case of WISE-ip industry projects, please also include the name of your industry co-applicant.
• Please save each poster as PDF (max. file size 10 MB, you may need to play with compression or export as bitmap image if your poster contains many high-resolution images).
• See just below for important guidelines on naming your PDF file(s).
• Poster format: standing/portrait A1 format, i.e., width 594 mm and height 841 mm.
• We will prepare a poster catalog on the WISE intranet including all posters, like the catalog for the Welcome Meeting 2024.
• You need to print your poster and bring it with you, as we have no possibility to print posters locally.
• We will supply the material necessary for hanging posters (pins, tape, etc)

Important guidelines on PDF file naming

To help us categorize your poster in the poster catalog, it’s important that you name your PDF file(s) according to these rules.

Give each poster PDF file the following name: 

PI-Firstname_PI-Lastname_University_[CODE]_[MATRIX-COORDINATE].pdf

where CODE refers to the project type:

• CODE = f1 for a project funded through a WISE fellowship
• CODE = ap1 for a project funded in the 1st academic call
• CODE = ip1 for a project funded in the 1st industry call
• CODE = ww1 for a project funded in the 1st WASP-WISE call
• …and MATRIX-COORDINATE refers to the project's primary coordinates on the WISE Matrix (see wise-materials.org/research/ for reference) in the form a1, d3, e4, etc.

If you have multiple posters with the same CODE, use, e.g., f1a, f1b, or ap1a, ap1b

For example: 

• Marie_Curie_Uppsala_ap1a_a1.pdf
• Alfons_Åberg_LiU_f1b_d3.pdf
• William_Gibson_Lund_ww1_e4.pdf

Poster Pitch Program (1-minute poster presentations)

As part of the poster session, each poster presenter will also take part in the poster pitch program. This includes a short oral presentation on stage, where you will pitch your poster in under one minute to encourage attendees to visit your poster during the scheduled poster session.

There will be three poster pitch sessions on the first day. Please view the pitch program on site to see which session you are expected to participate in.

Deadline

Submission closes on Thursday, August 6 at 2:00 PM.
