Poster Session
The poster session is an opportunity for students and post-docs to present research results through posters and discuss them with colleagues. Participants can also enter the poster contest, where a jury will award outstanding posters in the field of climate change. The winners will be honoured with a travel voucher of 1000 francs each. The poster awards are sponsored by ACP, SAGW and ProClim. Posters can be submitted in the following categories:
- Geosphere | Biosphere
- Atmosphere | Hydrosphere
- Human Dimensions | Sustainability
Deadline for submitting your poster is 27 March 2025, 12:30 noon. The submitted poster (pdf file, max. 10 MB) will be used by the jury to evaluate it in advance and to determine the winner of the poster award.
Would you like to present a poster without entering the contest? This is also possible. Simply register for the Swiss Global Change Day and bring your printed poster with you on the day of the event.
