To see when your presentation is scheduled, please go to the online programme and use the search engine and look for your abstract by typing its title (full or part). Once you find your abstract, click on it and you will access a page showing the date, room and timing of the session in which you will take part.

Your abstract has been selected for a Thematic Poster Session. Please read the following guidelines carefully and note that thematic poster sessions are an on-the-spot discussion and no audiovisual material will be available.

1. The maximum available area for displaying your poster is 190 centimetres wide x 90 centimetres high (landscape-shape)

2. We suggest that you design your poster layout with the following sections:

• Title, authors, address (at upper edge, across the width of the whole poster)
• Aims
• Methods
• Results
• Conclusions

3. The title should be emphasised by the use of bold-face type or similar lettering. The text should be printed in the same kind of lettering, large enough to be read comfortably from a distance of 2-3 metres

4. The text should be kept to a minimum and should be broken up by the inclusion of figures, drawings and/or photos. The use of colour makes the poster more effective and attractive

5. Material for displaying your poster on the poster board will be supplied onsite by the organisers

The session will take place from 12:50 to 14:40. Two coordinators have been asked to circulate from poster to poster between 13:40 and 14:40 to discuss them directly with the authors and to lead discussions with the other authors in the sessions and with delegates. For each session the posters will be displayed in separate cubicles and should be set up for viewing between 08:00 and 08:30 and taken down at 17:00 on the day of the session.
