How to make a poster ?

ilc | Louvain-la-Neuve, Mons

The scientific poster is a large poster created using PowerPoint software where the researcher presents his research subject in a few words and/or illustrations. It is therefore an excellent way to rethink the fundamentals of your research in both a textual AND visual way and to prepare a presentation or a future symposium...

On the sidelines of the poster, the slide is an opportunity to seize if you want to focus on a particular point of your research: ask a question, emphasize a result, show an image... Easier to create ( which does not mean simplistic), the slide is the subject of a lighter impression in order to launch the presentation of the poster or to organize the discussion around a more manageable medium.

Each year, the ILC organizes a "Posters day" which gives an account of the projects in progress.
