Call for Poster Submissions
Introduction
We cordially invite UIC faculty, staff, and student to submit abstracts for the poster track of the 2026 Computational Research Symposium.
This is an excellent opportunity for all members of the UIC research community to share their cutting-edge findings related to data analysis, data visualization, and high-performance computing.
Whether you're a seasoned expert, a newcomer, or someone seeking expert guidance for their computational data analysis, we encourage you to participate in our engaging poster session. Posters can encompass technical descriptions, smaller research contributions, ongoing projects, and student endeavors. We strongly encourage submissions that showcase computational analysis and data visualization demonstrations with tangible or potential impact within specific domains.
Poster abstracts must clearly demonstrate scientific merit and be well-advanced. Submissions will be reviewed by members of the CRS 2026 Program Committee. Please note that due to space limitations, acceptance of all qualified abstracts cannot be guaranteed. In this case, priority will be given to early submissions.
Go to the Poster Submission Form to submit your abstract.
