IN PERSON & PARTICIPATIVE: From Paper to Poster (REPEAT)

 

About this workshop

This hands-on workshop aims to take mid-stream or close to completion research students as well as students who have completed their research interested in generating posters for conferences and other presentations through some of the fundamentals required for a good research poster. The workshop expects to engage students on best practices, what to include in both qualitative and quantitative research posters, focusing on 3 key visual components for producing a good poster – coherence, clarity, and conciseness.
