(save 30 min for questions). Papers are better for completed research,
whereas posters are ideal for feedback on work-in-progress. Posters are
prominently displayed at the event and provide an opportunity for
feedback and discussion with conference attendees. All proposals follow
the same review process defined below.

school year. Co-authors may be other students meeting the same criteria.
