Presentation guidelines
All posters should be presented on one page and in “portrait” orientation. To maximize exchanges during the symposium, the posters will be displayed throughout the symposium, which includes five poster sessions (two daytime sessions and three evening sessions), in a venue next to the lecture hall and coffee breaks to give enough time for discussions, networking and knowledge exchange.
Anyone who submits an abstract agrees to have the presentation in-person in Tuebingen, Germany.
Submission of contributions
We invite you to submit poster contributions for presentation on topics of Systems Vision Science. This discipline combines computational, behavioral, and neuroscience methods to discover functions and algorithms for vision in various brain regions and their implementations in neural circuits. Presentation topics by the invited speakers will be announced soon.
Contributions in form of posters to any of these topics will be encouraged. To contribute, submit an abstract until Wednesday, April 30, 2025. Information regarding acceptance is expected to be communicated by us by May 25, 2025, latest.
