We encourage PhD students and other early-career researchers to take part in our Poster Competition. Participants have to prepare a poster on a topic related to bilevel optimization, as described in the themes of the conference. During a special Poster Session, each delegate taking part in the competition will be given a 5 minutes time slot to present their poster in front of a panel. The winners will be announced during the closing of the conference. We will award £500, £300, and £200, kindly sponsored by one of our partners, to the top three Poster Presentations.

​

Guidelines of the Poster Competition:

1.  To take part in the competition, you will need to submit an abstract and register for the conference. You will receive a notification of acceptance or refusal. 

2. Posters must not exceed a certain size that will be communicated as soon as possible. 

3. Participants have to bring their printed posters. We have no capacities to do the printing during the conference. However, we will provide poster boards.

4. Poster presentations are scheduled to last at most 5 minutes, with some additional time reserved for discussion and questions.

5. There are no other events scheduled in parallel to the Poster Session so that all participants of the conference are able to visit the posters. 

6. In return, participants of the poster presentation should be willing to present their research throughout the whole Poster Session.
