Call for Posters

We invite researchers and innovators to submit a poster for the Future of Construction 2026 Symposium. Posters are expected to present original work showcasing digital design, architecture, engineering, and construction innovations. We welcome submissions of work-in-progress, demonstrations, prototypes, and research that introduce novel techniques or present recent advances emerging from the convergence of AI, extended reality, and robotics, transforming digital fabrication and augmented design.

Posters should present works related to the symposium’s core theme, the convergence of AI, XR, and robotics, examined through the lenses of human-machine collaboration, sustainable approaches, and emerging models of practice in the AEC landscape. 

Posters will be displayed throughout the symposium, with authors present during poster sessions to facilitate discussion. Selected posters will be featured in a highlight session, offering authors the opportunity to introduce their work to the conference audience.

A Best Poster Award will be presented to recognize exceptional originality, rigor, or impact.

Submission

Posters must be submitted via the external page submission portal (login required) and will be peer-reviewed using a single-blind process. All submissions must follow the provided template. Upon acceptance, authors are required to submit a final digital version of the poster. At least one author of each accepted poster is expected to attend the symposium in person. Every author is responsible for printing their A0-sized poster and bringing it to the conference for on-site display; on-demand poster printing will not be available.

Publication and Archiving

All accepted work will be published via the ETH Zurich Research Collection, assigned a DOI, and listed on the program website. Publication is conditional upon the authors’ consent to publication.
