application deadline is extended until May 31.
Many students asked me about poster format, expected level, etc.
I'd like to say that a poster paper may describe a work-in-progress, be a short survey, or just a summary of your previous work. It is not reviewed as a scientific publication, it's rather an add-on to your application and a good way to present yourself at the school.
Best,
Pavel
