Poster Preparation:

The following guidelines may prove helpful in the preparation of poster-

• Place the title of your paper prominently at the top of the poster to allow viewers to easily identify your paper. Indicate the authors’ names and affiliations along with email of the presenting author if possible in order to allow interested viewers to contact you for more information.
• Organize the poster in a way that it is clear, ordered, and self-explanatory. The poster must cover the same content as the abstract. Label different elements as 1, 2, 3, or A, B, C. This will make it easier for a viewer to follow your display.
• Include the background of your research followed by results and conclusions. A successful poster presentation depends on how well you convey the information to an interested audience.
• Attractive charts, tables and graphics will greatly increase the effectiveness of any poster. Illustrations and tables should be kept relatively simple to maximize legibility. Avoid “artsy” style and keep captions brief.
• Keep the text to a minimum.

Assessment criteria:

Each poster will be assessed based on a total of 30 points (6*5).  The following criteria will be used for evaluation.

1. Abstract: Includes summary of pertinent details according to poster abstract guidelines
