- The title of the ePoster should be brief and in accordance with the title of the abstract submitted

- The logo of the affiliated institution or university should be placed on the upper right corner.

- Names and affiliations of all authors

- Arial font should be used throughout the ePoster with such clarity that it can be read clearly

- A minimum font size of 16pt is recommended

- Any abbreviations should be defined where first mentioned. 

- ePosters should be designed such that titles, legends, graphs, and illustrations can be easily read. 

- Embed high-quality graphics.

- The title and subheadings should be written in bold. Recommended to avoid italics as it would be harder to read

- Hyperlinks should be avoided. Instead, presenters are encouraged to include a QR code linking to additional information or related sources

- Audio content is not permitted due to the open nature of the poster presentation area

- For networking purposes, presenters may include their email address and contact details on the poster for further enquiries

- For standardisation purposes, only the template provided by us should be used. ePoster Template (click here)

Illustrations and Usage of Colors in ePoster
a) Illustrations are the most important part of the E-Poster and will attract the most attention. Colourful charts and graphs are the easiest to read. Explanatory illustrations should be used instead of text whenever possible.

b) Use only static images and do not embed any videos or animations in your ePoster.

c) Try to utilize the space on your ePoster as creatively as you can to attract the audience and make sure that the images are easy to understand.

d) Please be considerate when using colours for the presentation, keep only 2-3 colours, as this would be a formal scientific poster presentation. Please select background colours that contrast well with the font to allow easier reading of your text. Avoid backgrounds with bright or dark colours and full of texture, as this will distract readers.

e) Make sure that any photographs or figures being used in the E-Poster are of sufficient size so that they are clearly visible. The number of photographs should be limited to only those that are essential and relevant for the E-Poster (preferably not exceeding 4-6 photos).

f) Do not submit any photographs or pictures that are not relevant to the text, such as cartoon characters, etc.

g) Graphs and tables should be well organized, and the font used should be of a size that is easy to read.
