  • Title: which should be the same as the submitted abstract
  • Contact information: the name, street address, email address and affiliation of all authors should appear on the poster
• Headings: it is useful to include headings such as ‘Introduction’, ‘Methods’, ‘Results’, ‘Discussion’ and ‘Conclusion’
• Content: the text should be brief, with concise and simple descriptions of methods
• Size: maximum size is A0 (85 cm wide x 110 cm high)
• Font size: the poster should be readable at a distance of two metres

  • Heading: 48 point suggested, 60 point maximum
  • Content: 24–28 point suggested, 32 point maximum; single spaced
• Handouts: handouts can be useful; for safety reasons, however, these cannot be placed on the floor. If you provide handouts, please provide in a holder that can be attached to the poster board with Velcro.
