  • Posters must be printed in portrait ISO A0 size or smaller. Posters larger than this size or in landscape layout will exceed the available space on the poster boards.
  • Please choose font sizes that are easily readable from a distance, and a style that is visually appealing and clear. 
  • Please print the poster and bring it with you to the conference. Unfortunately we cannot provide printing services on site.

  • Material for mounting your poster will be provided at the conference.
  • Presenters should be available next to their posters during the entire duration of their poster session, to discuss their work with interested viewers.
  • Best Poster Award. The best poster shown at Kolloid-Tagung will be recognized with the “Kolloid-Tagung Best Poster Award” during the Conference Dinner. The award is kindly donated by Springer-Verlag.
