Design attractive posters

Training in production of scientific posters

Scientific posters are a visual communication tool you can use to publicise your work. Too often they are neither easy to read nor do they draw enough attention. What method should you use to prepare your posters? What are the rules to know about the writing? And, during your poster training sessions, how can you encourage interactions with your audience? Over two days, this science communication training workshop will help you to find answers to all these questions.
