Designing Effective Academic Posters

Designing Effective Academic Posters

03 July 2026

Powered by Promotionskolleg Brandenburg / Brandenburg Graduate School for Applied Sciences

Poster sessions are an integral part of almost every scientific conference. Their purpose is to highlight research results, visualize them and stimulate discussion. To draw your audience in, you need a crystal-clear message, a text format optimized for best legibility, well-chosen graphics and above all, a convincing layout for a printed or digital format.

Basic rules of graphic design help you to arrange your research visually well-ordered and compelling. The workshop also provides time for practice and feedback - participants come away from the course with a designed or redesigned poster. 

When:                3 July 2026 from 9 am to 4 pm

Where:               Berlin, near Ostbahnhof

Who:                  Doctoral candidates and Postdocs

Language:         English
