CONGRESS OF THE ESPU

B) Posters with Presentation (PP) Guidelines

The quality of the meeting is extremely dependent on the way you present your work.

The ESPU scientific Committee would like to remind you of a few key points:

• Make your poster visually interesting, but not over-elaborate.

• Put your poster on the assigned poster board in the ESPU Poster Area during the entire

congress.

• Stick to an easy to understand format: usually abstract methods, results and conclusions.

• In addition to the poster you are allowed to give a:

•

PP – Doctors meeting:

3 minutes oral presentation followed by 3 minutes of discussion.

•

PP – Nurses meeting:

3 minutes oral presentation followed by 2 minutes of discussion.

General Instructions

Short Explanation on Abstract Sessions

Abstract sessions are interactive sessions that consist of poster and oral presentations. A poster

presenter must put his poster on the assigned poster board in the ESPU Poster Area during the

entire congress. During the session a poster-presenter present his or her abstract in a 3-minutes

oral presentation followed by 3 or 2 minutes of interactive discussion with the audience.

Please note that moderators will be very strict with the time of presentations (3 min for poster).

Since we consider time for discussion as essential, you will be asked to conclude when your time

is out. Abstracts will be presented in groups of 4–7, and then the discussion takes place with

the presenters at the podium.
