4. Presentation
- Display – before the start day of each session (or day), all posters will be displayed by the congress team in the designated poster exhibition area. Authors can see at what time slot (day and session) their poster presentation is scheduled by checking the congress poster program.
– To avoid damaging the posters, we ask that presenters do not place their posters up themselves and instead let the congress team set them up. - Evaluation – each poster will be evaluated by a specially formed congress evaluation committee, which will grade the quality of the posters by examining the information presented, the dimensions required, and the overall aesthetic presentation value of the poster.
– The presenter of the poster is encouraged to be present next to their poster when the evaluation is conducted. - Best Poster Award – following the evaluation of all posters, the 3 best posters selected by the congress evaluation committee will be announced by the congress president at the closing ceremony.
– Each winner will receive a special award for their winning poster.
