We are thrilled to announce the Alice & Eve 2026 poster contest with exciting prizes awaiting the winners!
We invite all female students (Bachelor/Master/PhD) and early career researchers of computing and related subjects (in the broadest sense) to submit a poster. Your poster can be on any computing topic you like: from social networking to quantum computing and from medical image processing to formal verification. If it involves computers, we are interested. We welcome you to reuse any existing/published work or poster, no need to print it again.
To enter the poster contest, please write a half-page abstract (word limit: 250 words) on the topic of your poster and submit it by 15 September 2026 via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aliceeve2026
Notifications will be sent out by 25 September 2026. Selected participants are expected to bring the poster (up to size A0 portrait or A1 landscape) described by their abstract with them to Utrecht to present during the poster session. At the end of the day, prizes will be awarded for the winning posters in each category.
