Poster Board And Material

The maximum size of your poster should be 120 cm high and 90 cm wide. Your poster number will be displayed with large printed figures in the upper left corner of the poster board. Your poster should be attached on the surface by material that will be provided by the Congress staff.
Your poster board will be marked with the number given in your personal e-mail notification.

Text Layout

Give a short and comprehensive review of the basic items of your study. This can be done by dividing your text into several but clearly delineated paragraphs and sections such as Introduction or Aim of Study, Materials and Methods, Result-Conclusions. Remember that it is easy to start reading a paragraph of six lines and that most people avoid one with 30!

Your poster text should be enlarged so that it can be read at a distance of about one metre.

Illustration Layout

Drawings, diagrams and photos are extremely helpful and often necessary to display results and conclusions. Make sure that your illustrations are easy to understand; do not overload any chart or drawing with information.
The poster exhibition will be held in Hall A1 (exhibition hall). Your poster board will be marked with the number given in your personal e-mail notification. This number will remain the same both in the Final Programme and on the Abstract CD-ROM.
The posters will be displayed in four groups which are specified in the Programme at a glance and in the Scientific Programme.
