General guideline for poster presenters

Presenting a poster is a great way to visually share your research work and expertise with a wide range of delegates who are interested to learn about what you have done and also give you positive feedback. The guidelines below give you some tips to help you design and develop your poster and how to display it for presentation at our event.

Poster presentation schedule:
Posters should be affixed and removed by the presenters themselves in time (if you need help, please ask the colleagues at the registration desks).

Poster preparation

Poster Size: A0 Size (portrait oriented, 841 mm width x 1189 mm height). The poster title, author(s)’s name(s) and affiliation(s) should appear on the top. Posters should be readable to viewers from 1 meter away. For legibility, a minimum font size of 24 points is recommended.

Keep logos discrete and to a minimum. The preferred poster background is plain to ensure legibility. Before sending to print do not forget to proof read the poster yourself, and ask someone else to do the same, checking also for clarity.

Please make sure to print your poster in advance and bring it with you. The organizers cannot take responsibility for printing the posters.
