Course description

As a visual communication tool, a poster must be well-structured, balanced, and engaging to convey a clear message in just a few minutes. However, few scientific posters are both readable and dynamic.  

How do you write the content, structure it, and format it effectively? How do you present it to an audience?

This training course offers tips and best practices for creating and presenting an effective poster that captures the attention of your target audience, from design to layout.  

This training course provides a method for designing and writing a scientific poster while avoiding common pitfalls—both in content and form—and analyzing numerous examples. 

Objectives 

  • Communicate your research effectively
  • Capture your audience’s interest
  • Design an attractive and readable title and structure
  • Learn to refine your message 

Prerequisites 

  • Have an article abstract, a poster draft, or a poster you’ve already presented in order to put this toolkit for designing an effective poster into practice. 

 

This training is organized by Confluent des Savoirs, UNamur’s department for research outreach, communication, and dissemination.
