Conference poster guidelines鈥�

Creating an Effective Poster: To make your poster impactful, design it with a non-specialist audience in mind. Avoid technical jargon to ensure that individuals from different disciplines can understand and engage with your research. Check out the 'conference poster guidelines' below for more tips on creating an outstanding poster:

  1. Posters size should be either A1 (portrait/landscape) or A0 (portrait only).鈥�  
  2. Posters should be able to clearly communicate research without the author present.鈥�  
  3. Posters should include:  
    • A short, catchy title  
    • Names of authors and their affiliated institutions.  
    • Funding attributions (if applicable).  
    • High resolution logos (as appropriate).鈥�  
  4. Posters should be designed with a non-specialist audience in mind. Avoid using technical jargon to allow those from different disciplines to understand and engage with your research.鈥�  
  5. Content on posters should be easily understood without the author present.  
  6. Posters should take no longer than 5 minutes for someone to read. Posters are not journal articles. Keep text concise and avoid lengthy paragraphs.鈥�
