With the SiliconPV and the nPV Workshop getting closer, we would like to give you instructions on how to prepare and upload your poster presentation.

We will provide an Online Conference Platform on which all posters and short video explanations will be displayed during the whole conference. The posters and videos will also be accessible afterwards for a certain time.

Your poster session will take place at the time and date given in the detailed conference program, at which you should be logged in to the conference and available for questions and discussion with the conference participants.

Instructions for video and pdf files:
 

• You are asked to prepare your poster as a single page PDF file, preferably in landscape format, since it will mostly be displayed on computer screens.
• Your poster presentation video(mp4 format) should not be longer than 5 minutes.
• Start the presentation with a short introduction of yourself.
• We recommend making your short video by recording a number of ppt slides together with audio explanations, using PowerPoint (Microsoft Office) to record your speech. Additionally, you have the option to use your webcam and add a recording of yourself in the lower-right corner of your presentation. Please find an Office tutorial here.
• If you are more familiar with other video recording tools, you are of course welcome to use those to create the mp4 file.
• We recommend that you not include your email address in the PDF file to prevent unsolicited emails.

Presentation upload:
 

• All files (PDF and mp4) must be uploaded by Tuesday, April 6 at the latest.
• Once the upload is open, registered poster authors will automatically receive a personal upload link by email.
• Please note that consent for publication for both the video presentation and the poster PDF must be given during the upload process.

Poster session:
 

• During the virtual poster session, you must be logged in to the Online Conference Platform and be available to answer questions from attendees. You will receive further instructions by email prior to the conference start.
• You can find the exact time of your poster session in the online program. Please note that all times are shown in Central European Summer Time (CEST).

On-demand availability of content after the conference:

After the conference, all poster PDFs and video presentations will be available to registered conference attendees on the Online Conference Platform for a certain time. They will also be available in the Internal Area of the conference website for a longer period.

This year, prizes will also be awarded to the 6 best posters (one per poster session). In addition to the poster pdf itself, the short video presentation will also be included in the evaluation. The posters will be rated according to:

     - Clarity of the presented research,
     - Graphical value of the poster and the video presentation,
     - Potential impact of the results discussed in the poster.

The best posters will be chosen by experts during the poster session on-site and will be awarded during the SiliconPV conference closing session on Thursday.

Good luck!
