Is this course right for me?
Target Audience: PGRs
Posters offer an excellent opportunity for researchers to make their project visible to a larger audience, measure a project’s current progress, practice presenting their work & grow their network. Posters are a more informal style of presentation & this can facilitate discussion & learning, leading to new collaborations & relationships.
This specialised course, tailored to PGRs, focusses on creating and presenting impactful research posters. Emphasising design, clear communication, structure and good information visualisation principles, the content is delivered through a mixture of presentations from the instructor, group discussion and pracitcal exercises.
The workshop also includes several examples of successful posters and participants will have the opportunity to discuss designs and explore resources that they can follow up on in their own time. In addition, a list of different software for designing posters will be provided and discussed.
By the end of the workshop participants will have:
- an overview of the structure of a research poster & tips on how to design their own poster;
- an understanding of how posters can be used for networking;
- been introduced to & analysed various examples of research posters.
