The congress offers the opportunity to present and discuss posters. The poster exhibition provides scientists in the early stages of their careers (doctoral students and postdocs) in particular with a space for cross-sectional exchange about their current or recently completed research work. At the opening of the poster exhibition on Tuesday, 29 September 2026, from 12:00 to 13:00, contributors will have the opportunity to present their results to visitors in person. Afterwards, the posters will remain accessible to all interested parties in a central location throughout the congress. Please submit a short and informative abstract (max. 500 words) by 20 March 2026 to dgskongress2026(at)uni-mainz.de. In addition to a research question, this should also include details on the theoretical framework, data, methodology and (preliminary) findings. Submitters will be informed of the decision by 15 April 2026. Please avoid double submissions of contributions for oral presentation and poster exhibition.
