When preparing your poster, please remember that the area available to you is 90 x 110 cm (width x height).

"Portrait" is fine poster should be PORTRAIT    poster should NOT be LANDSCAPE "Landscape" not...

Please ensure that the corresponding number is clearly indicated on the poster itself (check the poster lists). Your poster should be readable from a 2-meter distance; as a rough guideline, use a font size of 72 pts for your title, and a minimum of 28 pts for your text.

Posters must be mounted on the day of the presentation between 08:00 and the start of the first session of the day (10:45 on Monday, and 09:00 on Tuesday and Wednesday). Posters should only be removed at the end of the day and before 08:30 of the following day (or by 15:30 on Wednesday, 1 June).

Posters will be mounted using pins, available in the poster area.
