Instructions for Poster Presenters

To efficiently communicate the results of your research to viewers, the following guidelines are recommended when formatting your poster.

• All presentations should be in English.
• Avoid using all capital letters, even in the title, as they are visually confusing.
• Make sure the text is large enough to read from 1 m away — keep it to a minimum of 18 pt, and even larger for the title.
• If possible, convert data to properly labelled graphs.

Poster Preparation

A0 portrait poster — 841 × 1189 mm (33.1 × 46.8 in). The smaller box in the corner shows a standard A4 sheet (210 × 297 mm) for scale.
