INSTRUCTIONS FOR POSTER PRESENTATIONSAt the joint event, emphasis will be given to the poster exhibition, with direct interaction between authors andaudience.
The usable space on the poster boards is 120 cm in height, 84 cm in width (A0 – Portrait Format). The poster can be
portrait or landscape. The boards will be illuminated sufficiently by the room light. Tapes and tags for fixing yourposter onto the boards will be provided.
A sheet containing the number and title of your short paper will be mounted in front of your poster board. Please
prepare your poster carefully and completely in advance of the joint event.
Posters should be placed to the boards latest on Monday 29th of October 2018 by 08:00 a.m. and will be displayed
for the whole week (29.10 – 03.11.2018).
Please don’t forget to remove your poster at the end of the conference. The organising committee will NOT take theresponsibility of removing and keeping your poster after the end of the event.
Avoid these common errors:
The size of characters is too small to be seen from 2 or 3 meters distanceOnly copies of your paper are put on the board
Only pictures and tables are put on the board without any explanation or title
No summary is presented
Please, use large characters at least 1 cm in height. Use a light-coloured background such as light blue or yellow
rather than white. Please give a title (your short paper title), your address to be contacted, the QR-Code with areference to the project webpage, the acknowledgement(s) and provide a brief explanation of each section.
The minimum recommended size for photographs and figures is 20 cm by 25 cm. Present numerical data in the formof graphs, rather than tables (graphs make trends in the data much more evident). If data must be presented intable-form, KEEP IT SIMPLE. Make sure that the text and the visuals are integrated. Figures should be numberedconsecutively according to the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. Each visual should have a brief
title. In presenting your research/outreach results with a poster, you should aim to use it as a means.
The ideal poster is designed to attract attention, provide a brief overview of your works and results, and initiatediscussion. It is recommended to ask yourself: if you would like to read it all if it wasn’t your poster? Make it
obvious to the viewer how to progressively view the poster, which generally should read from left to right, and top
to bottom. Numbering the individual’s panels, or connecting them with arrows, is a standard guidance system. Leavesome open space in the design. An open layout is less tiring to the eye and mind. Moreover, prepare a shortpresentation of about 5 minutes that you can periodically give to those viewing your poster.
