Therefore, it is important that you display your results clearly to attract people who have an interest in your team’s research work.

Your poster should cover the KEY POINTS of your paper, which include but not limited to background, methods, results and conclusion. Make your poster as self-explanatory as possible. This will save your time for discussions and questions with fellow researchers.
