Guidelines for Poster Presentations
Poster Areas
Poster presentations are organized in Poster Sessions, and Poster Sessions
belonging thematically to the same overall topic are organized in adjacent
poster areas.
Poster Boards
In general, for each poster one numbered poster board in portrait format is
reserved with an overall dimension of 950 mm (width) x 2235 mm (height).
All the material necessary for attaching the poster to the poster board
(double-faced adhesive tape) is available at the Facility Desk in the respective
poster area. In addition, there are assistants to help authors in putting up or
taking down their posters.
The number of each poster paper and of its corresponding poster board is
given in the appropriate session programme. The black-and-white Poster Board
Numbers will be fastened at the Poster Board Desk.

The Display Time is the time for the actual display of all posters. Authors are
kindly asked to put up their posters as soon as possible; they will have the
possibility to display their posters from 3 p.m. Sunday, June12th, and all
posters will be displayed throughout the whole conference. Authors should take
their posters down after the Conference finishes on Friday, June 17th, after 4
p.m. Any remaining posters will be taken down by the conference staff and will
not be delivered to the authors!
Poster Sessions
During the conference, 3 poster sessions will be organized (Monday, Tuesday and
Thursday). Authors are requested to be available for questions and discussion at
their poster during the appropriate poster session. Poster sessions will be
announced in the conference programme.
Poster Preparation
Place the title of your presentation prominently at the top of the poster board
to allow viewers to identify your poster easily. Highlight the author's name and
address information, in case the viewer is interested in contacting him/her for
more information.
Prepare all diagrams or charts neatly and legibly, in a size sufficient to be
read at a distance of 1.5-2.0 metres. The type should be at least 2.5 cm high.
Please be creative, and use different font sizes and styles, perhaps even
colour, and double-space all text. Use different colours or textures for each
line or bars contained in graphs or charts.
