The poster should be clearly structured using these sections. "Results and Discussion" or "Discussion and Conclusion(s)" may be merged to one section.

Tips for your poster presentation:
1. Posters should stimulate discussion and not provide a long text presentation of your work. Please focus on graphics, figures and tables and try to keep your text as short and precise as necessary for understanding your poster.
2. Providing poster handouts to supplement your poster information is encouraged. Please try to make all essential information of your poster also available, if your handout is in black/white in case your poster is in color.
3. Posters should be easily readable at a distance of 1.20 meters or equivalently 4 feet.
4. Please try to place figures / table / photos close together with the accompanying text.
5. Please remember that a light grey or neutral background may possibly be more comfortable for your eyes during reading the poster. Dark and bright colors as background may be uncomfortable for reading.
