SECTION 1: GUIDELINES ON FONT SIZES AND LAYOUT i) USE OF PRE-DESIGNED TEMPLATES Use of our templates is not mandatory. Presenters are free to submit their own designs and colour schemes. However, we do require that the poster is 1 slide only of either PowerPoint or (new) PDF, with the page set up as follows: Width (cm): 90 Height (cm): 130 ii) SECTIONS As a general rule, the following sections should normally appear: - Poster title - 1st author and other authors with study centre or institution - Introduction and objectives - Methods - Results and Conclusions - References / Bibliography These sections should be set out in clearly differentiated blocks. iii) FONT SIZES Title: We recommend betweeen 80 and 100 pt, although if you have a long title, you may find you need to use a slightly smaller font size. Authors and institutions: The institutions the authors belong to should be stated, indicating also Department and Unit. We recommend betweeen 30 and 36 pt. Again, you may need to go below 30 pt if you have a longer text. Main text: We recommend 36 - 40 pt, although 32 pt or even 28 pt could be used in isolated areas, or if you have a very large amount of text. You should use dark text colours on a light background, or vice versa. References / Bibliography: We recommend 24 - 30 pt. iv) OTHER CONSIDERATIONS Cutting and pasting images doubles their size. We recommend that you use: either Insert Image From File (earlier versions of PowerPoint) or Insert Image (PowerPoint 2007-2010). To submit your poster, click on Upload Poster, enter the first author’s surname, select your poster number and then complete the form. Poster submissions will only be accepted via our website and not by e-mail. Please check your poster carefully before submitting.

The PrintingOnline and delivery service is free of charge for all posters, thanks to a grant from Takeda Pharmaceuticals Europe Ltd.

The poster is available with 4-colour printing on 200g/m2 photographic paper; size 90x130 cm. How will the poster be checked? The layout (but not scientific content) is checked via 6 quality control assessments assuring 100% accuracy. I have already produced a PDF or other format. What can I do? We accept posters in PDF format, as long as the dimensions are correct (90 x 130cm vertical). If you have produced a poster with other desktop publishing software, please produce a PDF and submit it. Please contact us if you need further help. What consideration has been made with respect to referencing? All posters will be given a Digital Object Identifier number (DOI), which allows referencing in future work including abstracts, CVs, journals etc. Look for the DOI code on the lower band on your poster. I do not wish to publish my poster online. What can I do? If for any reason you do not wish your poster to be displayed online, or you wish to display it at a later date, please let us know by phone or e- mail. |
