Posters

Given the importance of posters to communicate your own ideas, we recommend that you adhere to the following instructions:

• High visual content that is attractive and holds the viewer’s attention.
• A clear, coherent framework that allows you to express ideas with simplicity but consistency.
• Texts should not be overly long or wordy. They are merely a supplement for your own discourse, images, concepts, and graphics.
• It is unnecessary to place everything in the poster. You will be able to give a more thorough explanation and provide further details through your interaction with the audience.
• Be as creative as possible in the way you display the information.
• Include your e-mail address so that people interested in your poster may be able to comment on and inquire about your research if you are not present.

Size: 90 x 120cm.

Other issues: You must bring your poster printed and conference staff will provide materials for fixing them to the presentation boards.
