POSTER DESIGN INSTRUCTIONS

Your poster has two goals:

  • to attract attention
  • exchange the message of your poster with the other conference participantS

Concepts of efficient poster design:
fast (shallow) reading would take 3-4 minutes

  • the reader will usually be concentrated no more than 6-8 minutes
  • include text, tables, graphs, photos and schemes in order to make communication more precise and smooth
  • if you have opportunity to print professional poster – do it. Otherwise build your poster piecewise with segments of A4 and A3 paper sheets
  • the panel for your poster will have dimension 90 cm x 180 cm. Fill entire area but consider several sections and columns to fit introduction, methods results, discussion and references.
  • use simple font for title (for example Arial or Times New roman) with approximate size of 72. Your poster title should be generally readable from up to 10 m distance
  • use simple font for body text (for example Arial or Times New roman) with approximate size of 20 to 24
  • use no more than two different fonts and simple color scheme. Too much colors will probably diminish your message
  • participants will not be attracted with excellent research followed by poor presentations

The content

    • Title: no longer than 10-12 words. Precise. Occurate. Focus on the content.

 

    • Authors: the list of authors and their affiliation. First author will be the presenter, the contents of the poster must be agreed with all authors. Please indicate mentor separately.

 

    • Abstract: brief content of the poster

 

    • Introduction: what is the field/area of the poster? why did you start the topic/problem?

 

    • Aims and goals: briefly state both

 

    • Methods: list of methods and justification of their use

 

    • Results: how did you conduct the experiment/research? what did you find out?

 

  • Conclusions: what is the meaning of the results? how can be used? where can be used?
