As such, the poster presentation is not only a good alternative to a classic conference talk, but also offers an almost ideal opportunity to network with colleagues working in a similar field. Yet, many posters are inadequately designed and\/or written and fail to attract visitors. Poster presenters, thus, often miss their chance to connect with their fellow researchers when discussing their posters.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;In this workshop, we will address this issue and discuss how to best develop an attractive poster and how to display your research in a way that leaves a lasting impression and avoids typical pitfalls. In addition, we will focus on important &#8220;dos and don&#8217;ts&#8221; of poster design.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;The course combines constructive input with group work, assisted practical tasks, and plenary discussions.
