All the posters will be available online for the participants before the conference in order to provide the audience with an overview of your work.

Example of poster: Here is an example of a poster displayed in 6 slides

The recommended format is the landscape format.

You shall organize the poster in a way that is clear, orderly, and self-explanatory. The poster must cover the same content as the abstract. You shall label different elements as 1, 2, 3, or A, B, C. This will make it easier for a viewer to follow your display. You shall design the individual sections of your poster so that they can be quickly read; please, avoid large blocks of text and long sentences.

You shall place the title of your paper clearly at the top of the poster to allow viewers to easily identify your paper. Indicate the authors’ names and address information in order to allow interested viewers to contact you for more information.

You shall avoid abbreviations, acronyms, and jargon. Avoid fuzzy images; make sure all graphics are high-resolution and easily visible. You shall make sure that there is enough contrast between the color of the text and the poster’s background.

All posters shall be in English. You shall not use special characters (e.g. «, Ö, Ø, ñ, ε, ®, ý, }, {, etc.) to name your file. Do not use passwords or encryption with your files.

It is the author’s responsibility to ensure that each part of the slide show (figures, tables, images, etc.) is free of any third-party rights and is cited correctly.

Please note that the posters will be in virtual mode only. They will be accessible beforehand and interactions during the ASW7 will be possible with the audience via a dedicated discussion channel on Discord.

Please stay in your Discord channel during the entire poster slots for your session, so that you can interact if participants wish to discuss your poster.
