  • What is a e-Poster presentation?

    An e-Poster presentation is a visual presentation of research findings or projects displayed on an e-kiosk. e-Poster presentations are commonly used to showcase research and communicate findings to a wider audience. The presenter creates an e-Poster that includes visual aids, such as graphs, images, and text, to summarise their research. e-Poster presentations are an effective way to share research findings and network with colleagues in the same field.

    The e-Posters on interactive screens will be on display during the entire conference on the conference floor and there will also be specific e-Poster sessions.
