Instructions for poster creation
This information is for those of who have posters accepted to the conference AND for those attending the Doctoral Workshop who will also present their proposal as a poster.
All posters will be presented in a poster session on Wednesday 4th of June.
We will provide further instructions about where and when to hang your poster nearer the day.
Please create your poster ahead of the conference, bearing in mind reviewers’ suggestions about ways in which you might do this to enhance the presentation of your work e.g. by making good use of graphics.
The conference organisers will provide appropriate boards and velcro pads to display your poster.
Poster boards will be 6ft x 3ft (182cm x 91cm).
The poster should be either A0 portrait orientation, or A1 sized.
Note that posters cannot be printed onsite. There are however a number of print services in Glasgow city centre near the conference venue that you might make use of.
If you are travelling a long distance and carrying a poster with you, it may be easier to have it printed on canvas so that it may be more easily folded and carried in your luggage.
Call for Posters
We invite proposals for posters relevant to the COLIS 2025 conference themes presented in the Call for Contributions. Poster submissions must describe original and unpublished work.
Poster submissions are an opportunity to present early-stage research or work that is more suited to an interactive, informal, graphical presentation to conference attendees. Presenting a poster is also a good way to discuss and receive feedback on a work in progress that has not been fully developed into a paper.
If your proposal is accepted, your poster will be displayed in a poster session during the conference. At least one author for each accepted poster must register for and attend the conference since you will be expected to present your poster at the time set aside for poster presentations. A list of the poster titles and authors will be included in the conference program; however, poster proposals are not published in the conference proceedings.
If your work is accepted for presentation at the conference, at least one co-author will need to register during the Early Bird Registration period and present the work at the COLIS 2025.The organizers reserve the right to withhold a publication if these conditions are not met.
