Poster presentations (on-site only)

The language of the presentation is English. Non-English examples should be properly glossed and translated to English.

Posting: Authors of posters are required to be present during their poster session to discuss their posters with interested conference-goers.
Authors should attach their posters to the boards before the beginning of the session (materials for attaching will be provided).
Posters should be removed from the boards by their presenters before the next poster session begins or in the evening following the presentation. Posters left on the boards will be removed by the organizers and can be collected at the registration desk.

Format: The poster boards are in the portrait orientation, their size is ISO A1 format (594 mm width, 841 mm height). The main text should be in a large enough font (e.g. 32 pts). The text should be brief and presented in bullet-point or numbered lists as much as possible. Avoid long paragraphs.
We recommend that poster presenters prepare reduced-size copies of their posters (e.g. A4 sheets) to be handed out.
