2.- Instructions for the poster

There are few specific requirements for the poster, but the main one is: clarity of the exposition. Please make sure it is readable and that the images and graphs are of good quality.

 

2.1-. Handling

You may choose to bring yourself the poster, but if you prefer to send it in advance, please send it to the Conference Secretariat, between the 1st and 10th of September or prior to 30th July 2010. Please note that our University is closed for holidays in August, and that there will be no one to receive your poster during this time.

The Conference organisation will provide panels to hang your poster, which will be exposed in the main concourse outside the Conference hall.

 

2.2.- Some ideas on creating your poster

We recommend a poster format of size A0, though you may choose to present a smaller format.

Each poster should include the title of the work in large letters, the institution where the work was completed, and the author names at the top center of the poster.

Materials must be easily read at a distance of 1,5 m. (4 feet). A point size of 5-6 mm. (16-18) or larger is recommended for body text.

Space your information proportionally. A good way is to divide your poster either horizontally or vertically into three or four sections, and place your materials within those sections.

When choosing a background to frame the components of your poster, remember that neutral or greyish colours in your selection of poster or matte board will be easier on the eyes than a bright colour. Dark backgrounds will make a dark photo seem brighter and vice versa. Colour photographs look best when mounted on a greyish backing.

 

2.3.- Additional requirements

We would appreciate if you provide us a copy of the digital version of your poster, in this way we will show it in the Website in same way you will present it during the event.

 

Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any queries about the abstract and poster preparation or the Conference in general.
