Next Level – E-Poster Design (February 15-16, 2022 | online)
Objective

Description
The workshop covers the basic knowledge how to conceptualize and design an effective e-poster. E-Posters provide the opportunity to fully utilise the power of the electronic medium – such as the incorporation of audio, video, hyperlinks, animation, enlarged graphics as well as the extension of the limited format of a traditional paper poster.
