Research poster presentations are typically large posters that students and professionals use to effectively communicate research at conferences, scientific/academic organization meetings, or competitions.
Research posters is a term used loosely since not all contain scientific information or sometimes research. Regardless of the content, the presenter's goal is to display information in a clear, concise manner while generating interest to engage in a discussion.
Poster conferences usually host rows and rows of research posters, so the poster should be easily scanned by passersby with clear organization and coherent design.
Below are a few guidelines for poster creation:
- Poster dimensions should be no larger than 36” x 48” (3 feet high by 4 feet wide).
- Title at the top of poster with authors, and acknowledgement of affiliation/programs (logo)
- Include authors from research (Presenter, graduate students, PI/Faculty Mentor)
- Approval from PI/Mentor prior to printing and presenting.
- Poster boards and posting materials will be provided.
Posters that do not follow the guidelines will not be accepted.
It is the presenter’s responsibility to print their research poster prior to the Showcase. See below for resources in the community for printing posters. Consult with your PI/Mentor prior to printing.
