Poster sessions
There are Selected talks and Poster sessions planned. The main aim of these activities is to get participants actively involved in shaping the summer school. We hope these sessions are especially important to PhD students to improve their skills in presenting their topic, managing daily tasks more effectively, and sharing essential information.
All participants will be invited to present posters; some most exciting topics may be invited for a short oral presentation. Additional info and a detailed schedule can be found and will be updated here: https://courses.cs.ut.ee/t/esscass2024
