This workshop by Naomi Peck (Sprachwissenschaftliches Seminar, Freiburg) is particularly aimed at those who want to present their own poster at the HPSL Day in October – and of course to all those interested.

Posters are quickly becoming a fixture of academic conferences as organisers try to give more opportunities for academics to share their work. However, many often see a poster presentation as a poor alternative for a talk, rather than taking advantage of the opportunities given by print medium to transmit their message.

We will explore how we can best design a poster to communicate our research by discussing insights from the ‘Better Poster’ movement and graphic design, as well as learning about a few tools for creating a poster. Bring pen, paper, and your creativity with you!

We look forward to seeing you there in large numbers, and as always there will be croissants, pretzels and coffee.

Breakfast will take place from 8:30-9:00 a.m. in the FRIAS Lounge, followed by the workshop in the seminar room.

Please write briefly to contact@hpsl.uni-freiburg.de if you are coming in person or will be attending via Zoom (e.g. from Basel). We will send out the access data on the Friday before.
