We believe that poster sessions are an excellent opportunity to discuss research with other delegates on a more informal basis.The proposals for all presentations will be evaluated anonymously by at least three members of the EuroSLA 33 Scientific Committee. Evaluation criteria include:• quality of the content• clarity of the abstract• contribution to the field.Please note that you will have to create a Sciencesconf account to be able to submit your abstract.Notification of acceptance will be communicated by end of February 2024.Length of AbstractsIndividual papers, papers at the doctoral student workshop, or posters: max. 500 words.Language PolicyThe working language of the conference is English, but presentations are also welcome in other European languages.Presenter PolicyEach participant can appear as the first author (and presenter) of one presentation only, regardless of whether this is a paper in the doctoral workshop or the conference proper.
