CIVL 1101 - Poster Presentation Guidelines
set cell vertical height

Listed below are several websites on developing and presenting scientific posters: 

  • Poster Guidelines: A poster is simply a static, visual medium (usually of the paper and board variety) that you use to communicate ideas and messages. The difference between poster and oral presentations is that you should let your poster do most of the 'talking'; that is, the material presented should convey the essence of your message. However, that does not mean that you can disappear to the pub or where ever you fancy. You have to 'stand-by-your-poster'! Your task as the presenter is to answer questions and provide further details; to bask in praises or suffer difficult questions; and to convince others that what you have done is excellent and worthwhile.
     
  • Poster Presentations: Posters are widely used in the academic community, and most conferences include poster presentations in their program. Research posters summarize information or research concisely and attractively to help publicize it and generate discussion.
     
  • Designing Conference Posters: Some gratuitous advice on how to prepare posters for scientific meetings, research conferences, and similar gatherings of nerds who want to share their stuff on really big pieces of paper. Use it to improve your next poster, or share it with friends who really need help.
     
  • Design of Scientific Posters: Posters are a special type of presentation. When well designed, they are not simply journal papers pasted onto boards. Nor are they mounted sets of presentation visuals. Rather, posters, when effectively designed, are something in between. This web page discusses the special situation that a scientist or engineer faces when designing a poster and then suggests some guidelines to address that situation.
     
  • Creating a Scientific Poster: Guidelines and technical requirements to prepare a poster presenting your work to the scientific community.

 

Listed below are several scientific poster format with Microsoft PowerPoint template that can be downloaded to aid in the student poster presentation preparation.
