Die Poster sollten im Hochformat und nicht größer als A0 sein. Die Poster werden direkt bei der Registrierung aufgestellt und sind während der gesamten Konferenz zu sehen. Am Samstag nach dem Abendessen findet eine zweistündige Postersession (mit Erfrischungen) statt, in der Sie Ihre Arbeit strukturierter präsentieren können. Bitte beachten Sie die Nummer vor Ihrem Poster im Programmheft und seien Sie in der ersten Stunde (gerade Nummern) oder in der zweiten Stunde (ungerade Nummern) bei Ihrem Poster anwesend.
