Systems analysis in Asia to achieve the SDGs

Poster guidelines

To better fit the needs of the online conference, posters will be presented either in a PowerPoint slideshow format or as a Miro board. If your poster abstract is accepted, you will receive a slide deck/Miro board template to fill out with your information and research findings.

In addition, we will also provide a platform supporting a video presentation of the poster. We highly recommend the submission of both the slide deck/board and the video formats for your posters to maximize visibility.

Selected poster presenters will also be invited to present their posters at a live session during the conference.

Instructions on how to upload and submit your poster on IIASA Connect will be provided to poster presenters whose abstract have been selected. Please note that in order to submit your poster you will need to have completed your registration on IIASA Connect.

Poster voting

A voting system will be put into place on IIASA Connect. Each conference participant will be allowed to vote for their favorite poster (each participant is limited to 1 vote).
