To draw your audience in, you need a clear content structure, a text format optimized for 
best readability and well-chosen graphics. Above all, you need to think carefully about how to organize 
your research contents on the required A0-paper format.

Basic principles of graphic design and layout techniques will help you to present your research 
visually perfectly organized and eye-catching. The course will equip you with both the concepts 
and the practical design skills to compellingly design your own poster during the practise session. 
At the end of the workshop, you receive useful feedback from group and trainer, in order to know how to further improve, optimize and finalise your poster draft.
