Tips for preparing your poster
Content: Use a short descriptive title, full name of contributing authors, author ́s affiliation.
Make you message clear: Highlight your AIM and CONCLUSION on the poster using bold or
colored fonts
Be brief: Use bullet points and only the most relevant text, 200-300 words is more than enough
for the main text!
Picture and graphic: Particular attention should be paid to the resolution of pictures and
photos. As a rule of thumb, use at least 300dpi resolution. Make use of colour and graphics. At
least 3 pictures or figures are recommended to graphically show your study design and results.
Prepare a pitch: Know how to explain the main message of your work in 1 minute, making use
of the pictures and figures on your poster
