Dear poster presenter, most of you have submitted an abstract for a poster and we look forward to actually seeing them! Recommended size is A0, i.e. 841 mm wide and 1190 mm high (portrait orientation). We will also inform soon about the poster parade on the first day. Posters are supposed to be up during the first week.
