Call for posters
We warmly invite you to submit your proposal for participation in the poster session. Please include the poster title, a short description, and the name of the responsible contact person.
Due to limited capacity and anticipated high interest, we encourage submissions that highlight particularly those topics relevant to Earth System Sciences and/or Biodiversity, focusing on FAIR and open research data management.
Final decisions on selected proposals will be announced by the end of July and published on this page.
For accepted posters, please use the conference poster template.

Call for software presentations - Software & Tools Marketplace
We warmly invite you to submit your proposal for participation in the Software & Tools Marketplace. Please include the software title, a short description, and the name of the responsible contact person.
Due to limited capacity and anticipated high interest, we encourage submissions that highlight interactive ready-to-use software solutions, particularly those relevant to Earth System Sciences and/or Biodiversity, with a focus on FAIR and open research data management.
Each marketplace spot includes a basic setup with a desk, chair and power cable. If you require any additional equipment or special arrangements, please let us know.
Final decisions on selected proposals will be announced by the end of July and published on this page.
Barcamp sessions
We will offer a Barcamp session to join and discuss topics during the conference. The Barcamp format allows to connect with interested people on a specific topic. Participants agree on the topics at the start of the meeting. The main advantage of this open and non-hierarchical format is: Anyone can ask questions, contribute their knowledge and work towards a specific solution focusing on requirements.
While spontaneous topics are encouraged during the start of the Barcamp session during the conference, you might want to submit topics for discussions ahead of the conference. Be prepared to present them in a 1 min pitch in the session on September 24th.
Submitted Barcamp topics
Workshops
Rather than offering fixed workshop slots, we will offer ad hoc workshops during the barcamp session. However, if you wish to plan a workshop, please get in contact with jointplenary@lists.nfdi.de.
