The Speakers Service Centre (SSC)

The SSC hostesses will be happy to welcome you in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Highly experienced and skilled technicians will assist you to transfer and to confirm your presentation(s).
Once uploaded to the respective lecture room, presentations will be played locally.

Technical Information for Poster and Moderated Poster

Logos
Please note that the use of the official ESC logos is not allowed on your poster. This also applies to ESC Association, Working Group and Council logos.
Suggestion:
Design your poster layout in the following sections:

Purpose
Methods
Results
Conclusions
The title should be emphasized by the use of bold-face type. When displayed the letters used should not be smaller than 15mm.
The subtitle should be printed in the same kind of lettering, but semi-bold and not less than 10mm high when displayed. This guarantees clear reading even from a distance of 2-3 meters.
The text should be broken up by the inclusion of drawings and/or photos. The use of colour makes the poster more attractive and effective.
Material for mounting your poster to the poster board will be supplied by the organizers. ESC staff are present at the poster assistance desk to help you.
