Each poster should be prepared in portrait orientation (vertical poster). The maximum dimensions are: 84cm(w) x 119cm(h). You might want to use the standard A0 vertical poster format.

The poster should contain the title of the corresponding paper, the authors, institution, and the institution’s location.

The aims of the study, the question to be asked or the hypothesis to be tested should be clearly and succinctly stated (in as few words as possible).

Briefly outline your methods. Provide details only for new methods or important modifications of older ones.

The conclusions should be succinctly stated in large type. Many attendees read this first, hence it should be easy to understand.

Headings

Leave one 1.15-line space from the keywords and start writing the main text of the article. Headings should be set aligned left, and consecutively numbered (e.g. 1. INTRODUCTION, 2. MATERIALS AND METHODS, etc., 5. CONCLUSIONS). ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and REFERENCES follow after CONCLUSIONS and are written without numbering. The main headings should be separated by one 1.15-line space from the text above and below, in bold capital letters. The secondary headings should be separated by one 1.15-line space from the text above and below, in bold characters and consecutively numbered (e.g. 1.1 Literature review, 1.2 The present situation, etc.). Only the first word should start with a capital and the rest in lower case letters, in bold characters.

Tables

Tables should be included in the main text, preferably after they are cited and as close as possible to their first citation and should be consecutively numbered by Arabic numerals.

Units-Chemical Formulas-Numbers

Please ensure that the following system is used for all scientific and laboratory data: kg for kilogram, L for liters and g for grams. Chemical formulas should also be correct e.g. CO2 (not CO2). Decimal numbers must have a dot "." as a decimal point and not a comma ",". For example, 2.5 (not 2,5). Groups of three digits in numbers greater than 999 should not be separated by a space or comma, e.g 2500 (not 2 500 or 2,500).

References to works cited in the article should mention the name of the author and the year of publication. References should be listed at the end of the text in the order that they appear in text, headed by the word "References".
