About

Millions of scientific posters are presented every year, containing valuable early-stage ideas and insights, but most quietly vanish after a conference ends. Posters.science is a free and open-source platform that makes it easier for researchers to share and discover posters, turning them into enduring research assets.

What is posters.science?

Posters.science is a platform that enables researchers to easily share posters that are FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) and AI-ready, maximizing their reach and impact. It also helps users discover posters so their valuable content can be reused to drive discovery, generate new hypotheses, start new collaborations, support funding decision, and more.

How does it work?

With posters.science, researchers can easily upload their posters, let AI-powered tools extract rich metadata, generate a machine friendly version of their poster and archive everything on trusted repositories like Zenodo. Users can also use a smart-search feature to ask complex research questions and instantly find relevant posters. Posters.science indexes all openly available posters on the net to create the largest registry of posters users can search from.

What challenges does it address?

Despite their value, most scientific posters disappear after a conference. Even when shared, they are often missing standard metadata, making them hard to search, cite, or reuse. Posters.science solves this by preserving, indexing, and enriching posters with structured, searchable metadata and creating machine-friendly posters.

Why is this important?

Scientific posters often contain first disclosures of research ideas, datasets, and methods. Making them FAIR and AI-ready means they can be reused to accelerate discoveries.

Development Approach

Posters.science is developed using an open-source approach. This allows for transparency and collaboration with the open source community.

Funding

This project is funded through a grant from the Navigation Fund.

Timeline

September 2025 - August 2026 - Phase I development

The first version of posters.science is developed. It includes integration with Zenodo, tools to extract metadata and generate machine-friendly posters, and a smart-search tool to discover posters.
