Posters

Posters can be displayed throughout the conference. There will also be two dedicated times for poster discussions:

14:45 - 16:00 Tuesday 7th January

12:45 - 13:45 Wednesday 8th January

Poster lead authors and titles are provided below. A full programme book is also available, containing all abstracts.

There is an optional online repository for those who would like to make their poster(s) available for online attendees and for reference after the conference. If you would like to do so, please upload a copy of your poster to the QRA 2025 Poster Repository.
