e-POSTERS Guide for Authors
[If you like, you can insert this STAR logo (high resolution) in your poster: please download it with the "Save image as..." option of the popup menu -secondary mouse button]


The STAR 2012 poster presentation will be a slide show session. A computerized presentation allows authors ease in travelling instead of carrying posters. To be precise, posters have to been displayed by computerized presentation, in a projector slide screen

Posters will be sending in electronic format (by a web platform) and have to follow these requirements:

  • Posters have to been designed in PowerPoint and converted to TIFF format [from PowerPoint menu: File | Save as  —> Save as type: TIFF format (.*tif)]

  • Letter type and minimum letter size (for visual screen requirements): Arial 24 points

Please design the graphical structure of the e-posters with the least possible amount of text to obtain a more efficient presentation.

Please remember that any poster designed in other format (including paper) will not be accepted.


e-Posters Deadline: May 31, 2012

NEW!!!   Extended e-Posters Deadline: June 25, 2012

Given the technical requirements for this novel way of presenting posters, please understand that failure to meet this deadline will result in the removal of the poster from the program.

Some relevant information about e-poster sessions with a FAQ format:

1. Will there be parallel (competing) sessions on the agenda during the e-poster sessions?

Yes, the poster sessions will compete with traditional parallel session and symposia. Each poster’s author has to defend their poster and answer any questionsif any under chair supervision.

2. Are the e-posters going to be clustered with regard to overarching topics?

Scientific committee will try to establish overarching topicsthat allow e-posters to be clustered with the highest possible affinity. It also will try to place the e-poster sessions far on agenda from other parallel sessions with the same topic.

3. Where will be placed the STAR 2012 e-poster sessions?

All e-poster sessions will be placed on the Assembly Hall for making the e-poster projection more efficient. The Assembly Hall is the larger room of the Venue and it has a very large screen. It is the best and most comfortable place to project the e-posters.

4. How long are the presenters supposed to talk about their e-posters?

The time for e-poster presentation depends on the number of e-poster sessions and the final number of accepted e-posters. But if we try to make a simulation: each e-poster session will feature the same time of a parallel session, which is 90 minutes. If a e-poster session contains 14 posters, each e-poster will have to be exposed in 5 minutes, leaving thefinal 20 minutes of the session for questions. This time of 5 minutes could increase if the final number of accepted e-posters was lower. Both the role of the e-poster session chair and of course the discipline of authors will be also decisive to obtain a good presentation outcome. So, please prepare your speech only for 5 minutes.

5. Are the e-posters going to be showed again after or before the presentation by the speakers?

The two key developments related to STAR 2012 e-posters, apart from the own projection, are:

a) A file will be prepared containing all the STAR 2012 e-posters, that will be sent to all participants only a few days after the conference, and

b) In a special room of the conference venue a set of computers for consulting any of the e-posters, so even prior to their presentation, will be available to all participants. This procedure allows better access to all e-posters (any time during the conference) and no problems for people who can not access a particular e-poster session by competing with other parallel sessions.

6. Will handouts be compulsory?

You could bring handouts about your e-posters if you want. Of course it is permitted. But a file with all presented e-posters will be sent to all participants by e-mail.


We want to highlight that for a efficient development of the e-poster sessions it is necessary to establish an

e-poster submitting deadline for authors at 31th May.

e-Poster extended submitting deadline for authors at 25th June.


Please follow the e-poster submission system in the adequate format (see the instructions for making e-poster electronic format at the beginning of this page)
