Poster Presentation – 26-08-2020

Why Make a Poster?

A poster is a visual representation of your research. Your poster should:

 be eye-catching
 tell the story of your research question- concisely
 enable the viewer to engage with your research

The viewer should be able to understand the research question, the context, scope and limitation and the
methodology you intend to follow. The viewer should remember you and your work, not the way the poster
looked.

Elements of a Poster
Your poster should include these elements:

 Title
 Author(s), with affiliations and emails
