Information for posters

We will provide poster stands that allow for the following format:

size: up A0 (841mm x 1189mm)
format: portrait

If you want to print your poster on site, there are a few copy shops at walking distance from the LMU main building. Usually, they can print a poster right away, but they can't guarantee that and we would recommend asking a day before. A color print in A0 format should cost around 25-30 EUR.

Copyshop Zentrale (Adalbertstraße 43, 80799 München-Maxvorstadt)
Digitalzentrum Barer 71 (Barer Str. 71, 80799 München)
