The poster showcase provides a platform for researchers to present ongoing or completed research through visual displays and short oral explanations.
These sessions facilitate direct interaction, allowing for peer feedback, mentoring, and dialogue in a more informal setting. By centering research as a core part of the conference, this format supports emerging scholarship, promotes sectoral crossover, and builds a stronger culture of collaborative inquiry.
It also reinforces the value of research in shaping future policy, practice, and knowledge production.
