Session 2 – 13:00-14:30 Poster Session

• Opportunity to interact with our people and their research.
• Click the Posters tab to look at the abstract for each submission.
• You can filter the posters by subject area using the selection boxes on the left, or by key words using the search box.
• View the poster in the tab displayed above the poster abstract.
• Use your mouse to drag the poster around to view in detail and to zoom in on sections.

During the live poster session, on 13 April 13:00-14:30, you will be able to video chat with the poster authors using the blue Call Presenter button that will appear next to the title. The chat room will be limited to 8 attendees at any one time, so if the room is full please pop back a little later to talk to the author.

14:30 - Conference close

All times are based on Europe/London BST.
