Contents

This course teaches participants basic knowledge of visual design and how to apply it to scientific posters.

Prior knowledge needed: PowerPoint skills or other layout software.

Participants should bring any potential content they consider relevant for their scientific poster (e.g., abstracts, image files, texts, figures) – ideally, they should have already a first draft of their poster. A scientific poster will be created step by step during the course. The knowledge gained can be put into practice right away.
