Poster Session:

The event will host a poster session for participants to present their own work. Submission instructions are available on the website.

If you wish to present a poster please submit the proposed title, a 200 word abstract, and list of authors by email to posters at langev.tokyo before the 4 March 2015. The abstract should be written in English and be submitted as plain text in the body of the email. All abstracts will be subject to peer review, but we will aim to send result notifications within a week of abstract submission. Please note, accepted abstracts will be published as submitted both in the event program and on the event website.

Participants may submit a maximum of one poster abstract as first author. There are however no restrictions on the number of posters which can be submitted as co-author. In the event that a poster is accepted for presentation, at least one of the authors, ideally the first author, is expected to attend the poster session in person to present their work.

Two prizes of 10,000JPY will be awarded at the conclusion of the event for the best poster and first runner up as judged by the organising committee. No special application is required to be eligible for these awards.

Space sufficient to hang an A0 (1189 x 841 mm, approx. 33.11 × 46.81 inch) size poster vertically will be allocated to each poster. A method of fixing posters to poster boards will also be made available.
