A14 Foyer

14:45-16:15

In the poster session, around 25 students will present their posters at the same time.
During the poster session, the authors will be present at their posters during the poster session, while the audience goes on tours to view the work and talk to the authors.
Use your prepared poster-pitch of 1 minute to present your project briefly so that interested conference participants can quickly understand what your project is about.

Please print the poster yourself and bring it to the conference.
The poster can be handed in at the conference office before the poster session. The StuFo organisation team will then put it up at the right time.
 

You present your research in a session with up to two other presenters. These presentations deal with a similar topic to yours, as far as this assignment was possible. Including introduction and conclusion, a session lasts a maximum of 60 minutes. Each person with a presentation has 15 minutes(10 minutes presentation and 5 minutes discussion). Each session is led by a chair who announces the presenter, ensures that the timetable is adhered to and moderates the discussion.

Your presentation should be understandable for a non-specialist audience. Try to get non-specialist conference participants interested in your topic by demonstrating the relevance of your work and explaining technical terms adequately. Make sure that you can clearly explain your research question and sufficiently describe the methodological approach so that it is clear how you arrived at your findings.

A laptop (Windows) and projector will be available in each room. Bring your presentation on a USB stick and transfer the presentation to the available laptop at the beginning of the session. Please arrive in the room on time. To be on the safe side, it is also advisable to send the presentation to yourself by email.

All students (Bachelor, Master, State Examination, Diplom) from all German universities can submit an entry for StuFo 2025.

A presentation is a research paper that summarizes the results and is presented orally. It is often accompanied by slides (e.g. PowerPoint) or other visual aids. The StuFo 2025 presentation panels comprise approx. 4 individual presentations, each lasting approx. 10 minutes and followed by a 5-minute Q&A session.

A research poster is a visual presentation that provides an overview or summary of your research for the audience to view at their leisure. At StuFo 2025, poster presenters are expected to be present with their posters in their assigned poster session to talk to the audience about their research and answer their questions. However, all posters should also effectively communicate the research as a stand-alone piece.
