INSTRUCTIONS FOR POSTERS

    Authors that decide on virtual attendance will be asked to deliver a poster in a PDF formatportrait version.

    Important notes:

    • Virtual posters should be delivered by October 30th (at the latest) in PDF format to a following email address: imekofoods@bantours.hr
    • Posters should be on one sheet only
    • Posters should be in a portrait version

    Selection of the best posters: All posters will be eligible for the award  – the best three posters will be awarded. The winners of the poster award will be announced on the last day of the conference.

    Suggestions for posters:

    • The text and figures in a POSTER must be STRIKING.
    • The letters and figures must be big enough for anyone – with a normal vision –to distinguish from a distance of some steps.
    • This means that 110 more than 3 standard typewritten pages (25 lines * 50 letters= 1250 n) can go on a POSTER.
    • This classical lecture has got to be CONDENSED in TWO STEPS. Make it shorter by picking out the important sentences which still read as complete sentences; this should be ONE-THIRD of the original length. In this shortened text, underline the important KEYWORDS
    • The QUESTION-ANSWER style of advertisements is very useful for condensing the text – use BIGGER or Bold Letters for keywords and DIFFERENT COLOURS for questions and answers.
    • Figures should only be like sketches – they must not be detailed technical designs.
