Authors of accepted posters are responsible for preparing a poster and bringing it themselves to the conference to display and discuss it on site with the conference participants.

Poster Design

A0 size (approximately 85 cm x 120 cm), and portrait orientation is recommended. Poster content should be visually appealing. The headlines should be readable from a distance and should help attendees to get an at-a-glance overview. The fonts should be large enough to read from a distance.
