  • The time for putting up your poster will be on the same day, between 9.00-15.00.
  • Upon registration you will receive a number for your poster, which will be clearly marked on the poster board and also used for identifying your poster on the final Conference Programme.
  • Posters should be taken down before 12.00 Friday June 6.

Poster size and format

  • The size of a poster board will be 97 x 120 cm, portrait orientation (When designing your poster, please take into account that there should be c.10 cm margins).
  • Posters must be prepared as a single poster and not as a collage.

  • The poster boards will be equipped with pockets for handouts (A4), which the authors are requested to provide.
  • The design of the poster must conform to readability standards from a distance of about 1.5 meter.
  • Use the same title as you have used in your abstract, and it is recommended that you structure your poster e.g.: Introduction, Objectives, Methods, Results, and Conclusions.

Poster awards
