Poster Sessions

Please refer to the workshop schedule for the specific time of this session. Participants are required to prepare 1 academic posters with dimensions of 80cm × 180cm, which should clearly present the research topic, core content, and key conclusions. At that time, on-site staff will guide you to the designated location and assist you in putting up the poster.

Since the number of participants for the Poster Session has not yet been finalized, there is a possibility that it may exceed the venue's capacity. In the event of such a scenario, the organizing committee will screen the submitted materials based on academic innovation and thematic relevance. If this process results in some individuals being unable to participate in this Poster Session, we will promptly inform you of the outcome via email. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and sincerely appreciate your understanding and support.

We look forward to your wonderful presentations!
