Poster Paper Guidelines

Poster Paper Guidelines

We welcome poster paper submissions to any of the conference tracks. They will be presented in a dedicated poster session designed to drive early-stage work towards high-impact contributions. Authors will have the opportunity to engage in fruitful discussions with other conference participants who are interested in their papers. Some senior scholars will provide relevant feedback on the poster papers.

The submission deadline for poster papers is 1st September, 2026. All poster paper submissions are to be made to the poster track in the submission system. Submissions must conform to the following guidelines:

  • The submission format for posters is an extended abstract of maximum 2,000 words (including references and appendices). Submissions exceeding this threshold will be rejected without exception.
  • Additionally, in the submission system, you will be asked to write a summary of maximum 200 words.
  • Please make sure you remove ALL information, which might reveal your identity, from the submission.
  • Submissions should be made in a PDF format.


Preparing your poster

  • In general, posters should be self-supporting. The presenter should only need to supplement or discuss particular points of inquiry. Make sure your poster is structured logically, from top to bottom or with a similar easy-to-follow logical structure. Please remember that people with diverse backgrounds and differing interests may be viewing your poster. Try to be as concise and brief as possible. Illustrations, graphics, and figures greatly increase readability. Make use of them extensively and minimize narrative and long paragraphs. Bullet lists are also a concise and effective way to communicate a series of points.
  • An excellent poster is designed to attract attention, provide a concise overview of the key points of your work, and initiate helpful discussions.
  • You can print out the poster paper before coming to Aalborg. 
  • Onsite printing facilities will be made available using a payment system.
