Each poster presenter will be assigned a poster board or a desk to present her/his research activities. During the afternoon session of the forum, poster presenters will be given about 2-5 minutes (TBD) each for flash talks on stage based on their submitted posters. During the breaks, poster presenters will move to the individual poster board or desk for Q&A sessions with the forum participants. Please note that the forum will be either audio- or video- recorded and photographed.
