Poster sessions
Please arrive to your session in advance, to make sure your presentation is ready to present.
Please bring your own poster or plan so that you can pick up your poster in one of Helsinki’s local print shops. NNDR organizing committee cannot print the posters.
The poster display is A0 size. Vertical side is longer, and the horizontal side is shorter, which means that the display is “portrait” rather than “landscape”.
Poster session is on Thursday at 15:30-16:30 the posters can be brought in the Pohjoinen lämpiö already on Wednesday evening, or before the start of the session. You can leave your poster in the session room.
Please note that the poster session is arranged at the same time as one of the coffee breaks.
The conference will be held at the University of Helsinki City Centre Campus: Main building (Fabianinkatu 33) and Porthania (Yliopistonkatu 3). There is about 180 meters between the two buildings. Most of the programme is in Main building.
Main building is built in 1832, which is why we are trying to make it as accessible as possible. Please contact nndr2025@helsinki.fi if you require individual accommodations.
Please refer to the Main building accessibility map, information of the conference rooms and Service map when planning most suitable accessible routes.

Interpretation and presentation auto-captioning:
Hearing loop
All the session rooms have an inbuilt microphone that can be connected to a hearing aid or CI, and a hearing loop.
However, room U3040 sound is not always clean.
Allergy free rooms
