The poster should be legible from a distance of 2-3 meters. Standard size for posters is 0.85 x 1.2 m (DIN A0-German Standard) vertically oriented. Therefore, please find the following specifications:

• the minimum size should be 20 cm for graphs;
• 3 cm for the paper’s title and the names/adresses of the authors in the heading lable;
• 1,5 cm for sections headings such as introduction, results, labelling of figures and tables;
• 0,8 cm characters in height for further text
• Line spacing: 1,1 cm at minimum; 10 of such lines correspond to one figure.
• Please use colours, symbols and schemes for improved clarity.

The posters will be shown during the whole conference.
