** Call for student posters **

POPL'15 will have a student poster session in conjunction with the main reception. All students attending POPL are strongly encouraged to participate, and our goal is to allow as many students as possible to present themselves and their work to the community.

Suitable topics are descriptions of work in progress, thesis projects, honours projects and relevant research being or to be published elsewhere.

This is not a competition, but an opportunity to get feedback and suggestions from world-class researchers and also to market yourself as a future PhD student, postdoc, faculty member, etc.

** Acceptance criteria **

We strive to give as many students as possible a chance to present posters at POPL. If we cannot make space for all interested participants due to space or time constraints, we will take into account both the quality of the work, and the benefit to the student of the exposure.

** Important dates **

Deadline:       22 September 2014 AoE
Notification:   1 October 2014
Poster session: 15 January 2015
