MatER + Final Sinks Meeting 2023 | Authors TERMS&CONDITIONS

Distribution

1. The works selected, either as oral presentations or posters, will be handled by the Organization Committee and later published in non-editable digital format on a section on the MatER Study Center website, dedicated to the proceedings. A booklet with the works collection will be distributed as well to all the participants during the event. The works that will be received but won’t be accepted by the Scientific Committee won’t be diffused in any way.

Selection

2. The allocation of the works submitted, either as ABSTRACTS or PROJECTS,  will be undertaken equally by the Scientific Committee according to their scientific quality, innovation, and relevance of the subject, together with the need to preserve a balance of topics. Due to inevitable scheduling constraints, some works will be illustrated during the Oral Sessions and the rest will be presented during the Poster Sessions, distributed among the 2 days, independently from the scheduling of each oral session. Equal prominence and visibility will be given to both sets of works as during the Meeting as in the Proceedings.

Posters

3. In case of poster presentations, poster printing costs are in charge to the authors. The available useful space for the poster presentation is 100 cm (width) x 150 cm (height). Henceforth we strongly recommend to print the poster using the A0 format (841×1189 mm), vertical layout, preferably using resistant/heavy paper. The Organization Committee will provide the metal grid and the material to attach them. Posters should be readable from a distance of at least 1 m.
