Poster Boards

For each poster one numbered poster board in portrait format is reserved with a clear dimension of Din A0 841 mm (width) x 1189 mm (height).

Poster Preparation

Please, use the poster template provided under "Templates Poster" at the congress website. Place the title of your paper prominently at the top of the poster board to allow viewers to identify your paper easily. Indicate the title and the author(s) names of your paper.

Highlight the author's name and address information, in case the viewer is interested in contacting him/her for more information. Prepare all diagrams or charts neatly and legibly beforehand, in a size sufficient to be read at a distance of 1.5–2.0 meters. The type should be at least 2.5 cm high. Use creativity by using different font sizes and styles, perhaps even color and double-space all text. Use different colors or textures for each line or bars contained in your graph or chart.

Organize the paper on the poster board so that it is clear, orderly, and self-explanatory. The presentation must cover the same material as the abstract. Label different elements as 1, 2, 3, or A, B, C. This will make it easier for a viewer to follow your display.

Include the background of your research, followed by results and conclusions. A successful poster presentation depends on how well you convey the information to an interested audience.

Poster Session

Posters are displayed all the time during the congress at "Theme Islands". On Wednesday, 15 September, 2010, there is a special poster session at 10:30–13:00. Chairpersons for poster sessions should gather and guide the audience from poster to poster in the order of their appearance, and they should invite the authors to present their posters for about 5–10 minutes and stimulate discussions afterwards.

It is strictly prohibited to take photos and/or copies from laptops and poster boards of any scientific material without the expressed permission by the authors.
