Poster Session
Instructions for Poster Presentation
Due to the size of the poster boards your poster may not exceed 90 cm in width and 120 cm in height (portrait format). Materials for mounting the posters will be available at the poster areas.
Local organizers will provide the necessary materials for the setup, but please remember that there will be no possibility to print out the posters at the conference site.
Posters will have to be mounted between 08:00 and 08:30 in the morning and will have to be removed after 18:00 in the evening. During the poster viewing period the presenting author and/or co-authors are asked to be present at the poster in order to be available for questions and discussions.
The title and Author(s) Name(s) must appear on the top of the final poster. The poster should have a balance between the text and illustrations. The illustrations should have a bigger area of the poster. Font size should be large enough to enable reading from a certain distance. It is suggested the following font size:
- Title: Size 70 (1,5cm H)
- Author(s) Name(s): Size 50 (1cm H)
- Text: Size 28 (0,7cm H)
