POSTER CONTENT AND PRESENTATION

1) Poster Content

The poster will need to be in English. You should try to avoid jargon, and mostly use layman's language. The poster presentation should ideally try and convey the following information:

• What is the problem I am trying to solve?

• Why is it important?

• How am I solving it?

• Why is this method unique? Better than others?

• Optional: how could this idea/product be commercialized? Who would buy it and why?

The questions above are in no way meant to be a strict template to follow – presenters can structure their posters as they see fit. However, it would be ideal if your poster answers most of the questions above.

Note: for teams with multiple projects to present, we do not believe it would be wise to present all of them in one poster. It would be better to focus on 1-2 items and be ready to discuss others informally.

2) Poster Presentation

We recommend having no more than 2 presenters per poster. One would be best. The presenter will need to be ready to explain the work in layman's terms, and be able to answer the questions above. She/He would need to be able to explain his work in both English and Greek.

There is no need to engage the guests regarding funding or engage in business conversations (i.e. investment, spin-off, etc) unless they engage you along that route.

Dress code for the day of the event: Business casual.

3) Desk

A small table can be provided to you, to be placed in front of the poster stand and be used for a laptop, or if you wish to run a demo and/or a video of your project. If you need the table please note:

• You have to notify the organizers (c4e@ucy.ac.cy ) by November 21st.

• We cannot guarantee that there will be power connections near the table, as power sockets are not available in all corners of the room.

• We will provide a corner where you could charge your laptops if needed.

If you need anything beyond the desk, please let the organizers know and we can discuss if this can be accommodated.
