RESEARCH POSTER Deputy CHAIR
Fernanda Foertter, University of Alabama, USA
The ISC Research Poster Session provides a global platform to present your latest research results and innovative research. Research Posters focus on a scientific investigation or study. It’s the ideal format to present your methodology, data, and scientific conclusions in high performance computing and related domains.
Especially for students and PhDs, a Research Poster could be the initial step for a future contribution in the Research Paper track.
If your proposal focuses on a collaborative project, please consider the project poster track.

SuBMISSION GUIDELINES
The ISC 2026 Research Poster Committee will review all submitted research poster proposals.
Required Information
- Poster title
- Poster author information
- Short poster abstract (500 words maximum)
- Extended abstract (1000 words max)
- Topic area (see below)
- Draft of the poster as a PDF file
- The poster does not need to be in its final version. You may change your poster after acceptance, but your submission must be a representative draft of the final poster
- One page maximum
- The usable area of the boards provided at ISC 2026 is WxH: 950mm x 2380mm (37.4” x 93.7”). The final printed poster may not exceed A0 portrait paper size (W: 841 mm x H: 1189 mm/ W: 33.1” x H: 46.8”). Preferred is a high resolution to ensure readability (e.g., 2384 px × 3370 px at 72 dpi).
- Maximum file size: 10 MB
Review Process
- Each poster is expected to receive a minimum of three reviewers
- Poster reviews are single-blind: reviewers will see author names, but authors will not see reviewer names
- Posters will be evaluated based on originality, significance, quality, and clarity
Final Decision
- The poster committee will consider all reviews
- Notification of the posters’ outcomes will be sent to the authors
TERMS & CONDITIONS
- The research posters will be displayed from Tuesday, June 23, through Thursday, June 25, 2026.
- By submitting a research poster, you agree that one of the authors will present the work in person at ISC 2026 in Hamburg, Germany.
- Each submitter is allowed to present only one poster onsite. You are welcome to be a co-author but not a presenter for additional poster submissions.
- One presenter is eligible for a complimentary conference participation pass.
- Every accepted research poster will have a concise lightning talk (one minute) included as part of the poster pitch to capture the audience’s interest. The poster reception, accompanied by snacks and drinks, will give special attention to the posters and facilitate maximum interaction between poster authors and participants. Poster authors must be present at their poster during the entire reception.
- Travel, accommodation, registration fees for other authors, and other such expenses will not be covered by the ISC organizers.
