Versatile event program – something for everyone
The program for the EAOO Helsinki2021 event consists of Keynote lectures and a few other content formats. So you'll know what kind of presentation is in question, we'll explain them here.
Open paper sessions are thematic sessions comprised of individual presentations followed by discussion with the audience. Each presenter has around 10 minutes to present their paper.
Posters are prominent at scientific conferences, allowing for research information to be presented in a more interactive manner. Posters can be viewed on the online platform during the event and the presenters are available to answer questions via chat. Poster sessions may offer the potential for new collaborations to develop among colleagues.
