All posters will be presented throughout the whole duration of the conference. Posters will be secured by means of Velcro stickers which will be provided and on your board ready for use. Please be aware, posters printed on thick canvas may have trouble sticking to the board due to their heavy weight, and may require pins. Please note that any posters remaining at the end of the conference cannot be returned to authors.

Your poster number e.g. P001 will be available on the day at registration and in Elphinstone Hall where you will be setting up your posters.
