I launched a platform for researchers to find collaborations easily. A kind of blablacar or airbnb but instead of putting your route or apartment, you put the technique, experiment or analysis that you handle and with which you would be open to make collaborations. joinportiko.com

christoph: place a 4Γ—4 cm QR code in one edge of your poster that links to a PDF of your poster in a temporary depository. helps to boost your poster when you take a selfie with you poster and post it here: the QR code can be easily grabbed by a QR code reader πŸ™‚ (a tip, sorry in case you know this)
