A poster is a visual presentation of information. A research poster is a visual presentation of your research (information) and should be designed as such – do not simply reproduce a written paper in poster format.

Academic posters are typically created for display at academic conferences and they should be understandable to readers/ viewers without verbal comment – someone might look at it when you are not there to explain.

A research poster is used to:

  • catch the reader’s attention - potentially useful contacts who are working in the same or related reserach area

  • tell them what researh question you are trying to answer

  • tell them what you found out - if you are at the first stages of your research, then what you expect to find out.
