In motor racing, Late Braking is a technique used to pass another car. Essentially you brake later than your opponent and use all of the available grip to reduce speed before you turn into a corner. It’s important to know the track you are driving on and judge when to start braking and how much pressure to apply. It’s also a good idea to brake over a longer distance rather than trying to reduce speed in one quick hit. In a fast corner, this can cause understeer or lock up the car and result in the dreaded spin.
A similar philosophy applies to submitting your work for late-breaking. By submitting your research for a late-breaking abstract, you can showcase the latest results in a dedicated session. You will have the opportunity to present your findings at the meeting in an informal poster format, or if you are selected for a demo submission you will be given the space to demonstrate your prototype(s).
The selection committee of the HF 2025 scientific programme will determine the day and time of each late-breaking presentation. If you have been accepted to present in this format, you will be sent an email with details.
Submitted Late-Breaking Science must not have been published in any journals or online publications and will remain embargoed until it is presented at HF 2025. Authors cannot appear as the presenting author on more than one late-breaking abstract. This will be checked during the review process.
