Submit your poster

Overview

Posters provide womENcourage participants with an opportunity to present their work, benefit from insightful feedback and discussion, exchange knowledge and establish collaborations.

We welcome poster submissions from all areas of computer science and computational sciences. As the theme of this year is “Unmute Yourself, Grow Stronger Together. Listen to Your Inner Voice and Walk on Your Own Path for Well-being in Computing ”, we encourage authors to explore how computing can empower wellbeing through:

  • Evidence-based tools
  • Inclusive socio-technical systems
  • Organisational practices that sustain healthy and creative work

All topics in Computer Science are welcomed! 

The submissions will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

  • Degree to which there is a fit to the theme of the conference.
  • How attractive the topic could be for womENcourage participants.
  • How easy it is to understand the topic for a person from another field of Computer Science.

 

Submission guidelines:

  • The authors should submit two PDF documents:
    • (a) the extended abstract. The extended abstract should include  the title, authors’ names and affiliations, as well as provide concise overview of the research, and should not exceed two pages in the ACM format, including bibliographic references. LaTeX users must use the provided acmart.cls and ACM-Reference-Format.bst without modification, enable the conference format in the preamble of the document (i.e.,\documentclass[sigconf,review]{acmart}), and use the ACM reference format for the bibliography (i.e., \bibliographystyle{ACM-Reference-Format}). The review option adds line numbers, thereby allowing referees to refer to specific lines in their comments.
    • (b) visual poster. The abstract submission must be accompanied by the visual poster. The poster should also include the title, authors’ names and affiliations, and a visually compelling presentation of the research presented in the extended abstract. The poster might also include QR codes to link to online materials. The poster format is A1 and must follow the template available here.
  • Submissions should be in English and fit the conference topics.
  • The submissions must comply with the ACM Policy on Plagiarism, Misrepresentation, and Falsification. But as there is no proceedings (the posters will only be published at the conference website), feel free to present results that have already been published elsewhere.

Submission(s) should be made through HotCRP 

Submissions can have multiple authors (of any gender). At least one author of each accepted poster is expected to attend the event and present the poster. Authors of accepted posters can apply for womENcourage scholarship
