Posters should should be designed for A1 portrait (594 mm x 841 mm) colour printing and articulate clearly and concisely either visually or textually:

• What challenge is being addressed or question being answered by the research in such a way that a non-expert can understand the importance of the research.
• What the research is.
• What the intended outcome is.
• What stage it is at.
• Any research results, preliminary conclusions, or any potentially exciting or interesting next steps are.

Posters should be aimed at other students and researchers who do not necessarily have expertise in that specific area of research.

Posters should also clearly display your name and the name of your university. A competition determines which poster best achieves these presentation goals. The winner is offered a travel sponsorship to a tier-one international conference in their field of research.
