Poster dimensions and orientation are compulsory requirements.

There are no other requirements for the preparation of posters. At the same time we would like to suggest the following:

   Use an easy-to-read font (Arial and Times New Roman are the more commonly used).
   Poster title: recommended font size is minimum 36.
   Below the title you may wish to put the author(s)' name(s) and affiliation(s), followed by email     address(es).
   People will not read text-packed posters or small-sized text. Try to use an easy-to-read font and keep
    the font size of important points to 24+ if possible. The smallest text on your poster should be at least
    size 18.
   You may wish to prepare a few A4 copies of your poster (black and white), making it easier for
    interested colleagues to read.

Organisers will exhibit all posters received by 30th July 2008 at the following address:
