Poster presentation
During a poster presentation you will get the opportunity to shortly present the headlines of your research and afterwards discuss your work with members of the audience.
To prepare for a poster presentation, create a poster (A1 or A0 format). Your poster should contain the following sections: background, research question, method, results, conclusions, take-home messages, and keywords. Try to make the poster clear, structured, concise, and attractive. Avoid long texts and use diagrams, graphs, and/or tables to visualize your information effectively.
Presenters are asked to introduce their poster during a 3 minute pitch. After this short presentation the audience will roam around the room to discuss the posters with the presenters. The discussants and/or chair of the session will discuss both content and lay-out of the poster. With regard to the lay-out, the following points can be discussed:
The clarity of the poster (overall)
The extent to which the poster draws attention
The clarity of the textual information the poster conveys
The clarity of the graphical information the poster conveys
The originality of the design of the poster
Duration and set-up of a poster session
During the ICO Spring School, the posters will be grouped into themes as much as possible. Per session of 1 hours a maximum of 6 posters will be presented and discussed.
The session starts with a pitch by the presenters of the posters of ca. 3 minutes per poster. Afterwards, all posters will be discussed simultaneously, started by the appointed discussants.
The group can choose to divide the hour in to two sessions of 3 poster. In that case, after the first 30 minutes, 3 new posters will be pitched, followed by a discussion.
Send in your paper and abstract before 11 February, using the submission form.
If you wish to present a poster at the NSS, please send your paper (max. 1000 words in APA style, including references, in Word or PDF format) and a short abstract (max. 300 words). We will use your abstract to inform the Spring School-attendants about your presentation.
Use the submission form to enclose the document. Name your document "Last name"_"presentation type", like "VanDijk_Poster.pdf".
We will inform you about your chair/discussant in due time.
