Posters

If you are invited to poster sessions, please prepare your poster in either A0 portrait format (width 841 x length 1189 mm), or ANSI standard paper size E portrait format (width 34.0 x length 44.0 in). Formats other than those can NOT be accepted as the fixed glass frames in the venues are in these dimensions. There will be no need to submit anything for now.

Posters may be printed locally in Melbourne, and we will be issuing guidelines for printing posters nearer the meeting.

Workshops

The emphasis of 8OSME is the presentation of academic papers. However, we will be running a series of more informal workshops in conjunction with the main program. These could include general discussions of an applied origami idea, presentation of a book written by an author, or sharing and teaching a model that may have useful kinetic properties, or be useful in education.

Workshops materials will not be published in the 8OSME proceedings, but workshops will be a forum to share ideas and participate with the conference.

If you would like to present a workshop please submit a proposal to us at 8OSME@swin.edu.au.

Model Instructions and Diagrams

Working in conjunction with the Melbourne Origami Group we will be publishing a joint model collection. If you wish to share any model instructions that may be relevant to 8OSME, in terms of educational benefit, explaining a mathematical principle, has a kinetic property that may be of interest to engineers, please share it with us for publication.

Please email all diagrams to 8OSME@swin.edu.au with the subject title "Model Instructions and Diagrams".
