INSTRUCTIONS FOR ORAL AND POSTER PRESENTATION

Poster Instructions

The poster session is the opportunity to present your work and discuss it directly with other delegates. The display should, therefore, be visually appealing and contain the essence of your abstract (aims, results and conclusion) in a form that is easy to understand.

Diagrams and graphs should have clear captions. All lettering should be easy to read (use at least font 24). All graphs and diagrams should be drawn with thick lines (preferably 1mm or more in width). Use color to emphasize important features.

► The following information must be clearly displayed on your poster:

The title of your paper (same of abstract);
The authors’ names and their affiliations;
The usual contact details (e.g. an email address) to allow delegates to follow up discussion

Note: Poster must be written in English!

► Please note that the maximum poster dimensions are:

Height: 100 cm

Width: 90 cm
