The submitted posters and clips will be reviewed and selected according to formal and content criteria. In the evaluation of the submissions we are guided by the following criteria:
– Innovative character
The organisers welcome innovative contributions with a future impact.
– Practical relevance
As organisers, we attach great importance to the participants learning things that are model-like and relevant for professional practice. In reports from ongoing projects, it is expected that not only project goals are reported, but above all, project results and implementation problems.
– Networking character
The evaluation takes particular account of submissions that encourage cross-disciplinary thinking and the acquisition of skills beyond existing professional boundaries.
– Creative ideas and technical implementation
Presentation and implementation should be in line with the content to be conveyed. A creative approach to the topic and the appropriate use of the available resources are expected.
The best poster will be awarded at the closing event on 27 June in Bremen.
The posters will be displayed during the entire event. A separate poster area is available for this purpose. Two presentation dates are planned: Wednesday, 25 June and Thursday, 26 June, both during the lunch break. Authors are expected to be available for explanations and questions in the poster exhibition area between 12:45 and 13:45 on these presentation dates.
The posters will be archived on BIB-OPUS after the Library Congress.
