The format of the Expert-guided Poster Tour

In this poster session format posters will be presented in a concise format at the poster board without prerecording. Two experts will guide the session by means of questions and discussions. The complete session will be 30 minutes, each poster will be presented for 2 minutes followed by 2 minutes of discussion.

The format of a Poster Session
1.    Introduction by chairmen (4 minutes)
2.    Presentations (6 minutes for prerecording and 2 minutes for discussion per presenter)

A poster session is an interactive discussion. During the poster viewing, at the beginning of the session, groups gather at the various posters and move from one to the next, discussing their findings with the authors. This permits a one-to-one exchange of ideas. After the poster viewing, the poster presenters will will be present on stage when their prerecording is shown followed by an interactive discussion. (Instructions prerecording see “The Poster Session presentation”)

Instructions on how to do a pre-recorded video can be found on the faculty website under the header Information.

Date, time and place are listed in the online programme. You will be responsible for mounting your poster on the assigned poster board with the available push pins outside the session room 15 min. prior to the start of the session. An abstract presenter must attend the whole poster session in which he/she is scheduled. The quality of the meeting is extremely dependent on the calibre of the presenters and their posters.

The EAUN Scientific Committee requests that you declare any relevant links to the industry in relation to your presentation or other conflicts of interests at the beginning of your prerecording (in slide 2) or presentation.
