HUGS 2022 Seminars and Posters

The HUGS 2022 will host a seminar session that will take place the last two afternoon of the school and a virtual poster session on the morning before. All the students are invited to give a seminar or a poster.

The seminars are reserved only for on-site participants. This time we ask the remote students to present a poster.

The participation is strongly encouraged: consider this as an occasion to practice some of the soft-skills that are required in our job in a familiar and safe environment.

Deadlines to remember

  • Poster/seminar abstract: Mon, June 6 at 11:59 pm ET.
  • Poster file: Mon, June 12 at 23.59am ET (to Alex, only .png or .jpg format) and on Indico -not yet available- (.pdf format).
  • Talk slides: on Indico, 1 day before the start of one's session -not yet available- (.pdf format).

Abstract Submission

Please fill the following google form by June 6 at 11.59pm ET. In the form you need to insert your name, which kind of presentation (seminar- only for on-site students- or poster), the title of your work and a short abstract to describe your research.

Note for on site students only: due to the high number of participants we have a maximum of 30 seminar slots. Therefore, we are able to give everybody the possibility to present their work, but we may not be able to give the seminar option to everybody. The poster/seminar format selection will be made on a first arrived first served basis, based on the timestamp on the registration form. We will inform you as soon as possible on which kind of presentation you will give us.

Seminar session and prize

The seminar session will be hosted the last two afternoon of the school and it will be will be held on the Zoom platform as for the class. Soon we will ask you to upload the slides on Indico. Please register on Indico using the email that you use for the HUGS registration.  The session will be divided in 15 minutes time slots: 12 minutes for your presentation, and 3 minutes for questions and discussion.

Remember that the best three seminars will be awarded with HUGS presentation prize. We will post soon in this page how we will select the winners.

Poster session and prize

The poster session will be hosted June 15 from 9:00pm ET and it will be held on gather.town in the poster session room (the indication on how to reach it in the gather map are super clear). Since we need to upload the poster in gather and organize the room, we ask you to send your poster to Alex not later than June 12 at 11.59pm ET in PNG or jpeg format only (below 3MB). Moreover, we will ask you to upload a pdf version of the poster on Indico when we will create your slot.

We will assign to all the posters a number in Indico, so you can find it in the gather poster session room. For each poster there will be a private area in which only the people who are in watching at the poster can hear and talk each other. Unluckily, gather does not allow you to watch the poster without participating to the conversation, so we ask you to post the poster also on the Indico page in order to allow other people to read them at their own pace. In any case, the poster session room will be open any time, so you can enter and enjoy any poster whenever you want!

We will have an award for the three best posters.  We will post soon in this page how we will select the winners. 

We are looking forward to tell us what cool research you are doing at your home institution!
