About
Poster session - Growth and development policy – new data, new approaches, and new evidence

There will be special poster sessions in the afternoons of both conference days. Up to 25 posters will be presented per day in a suitable venue close to the conference deliberations and they will be displayed throughout the day. Authors are requested to illustrate their findings by displaying graphs, photos, diagrams, and a small amount of text.

During the special poster session, the author of the study being presented will stand in front of the poster. To start the poster session, a bell will ring. The author will give a 5-minute presentation to the assembled audience. An additional 2.5 minutes will be allocated for questions. After these 7.5 minutes, the bell will ring to mark the end of the presentation and the audience will be given 1 minute to move on to whichever poster they choose. The bell will ring again to mark a new round of presentations.

Presenters should be ready to present seven times during the session. Participants will in this way be able to engage with a broad selection of the research on display. Any remaining time will be allocated to informal discussions where conference participants will be able to circulate among the posters and ask further questions. Presenters are asked remain by their poster boards for the duration of their assigned poster session. Copies of the paper can be brought to distribute but will not be produced for you.
