FTPP Poster Competition
Please pay close attention, as poster guidelines have changed!
This year, all poster submissions are required to follow the Mike Morrison Better Posters template, which is designed to improve the clarity and impact of scientific communication. This innovative approach emphasizes a clean, organized layout that highlights the main findings, making it easier for viewers to quickly grasp the key message of the research. By using this template, presenters can effectively engage their audience and facilitate meaningful discussions. The template is available for download in both PDF and LaTeX formats through the links provided below. Read this page CAREFULLY.

Submit your Poster by clicking on the button below. All poster submission candidates will have to participate in the 3-Minute Flash Talk about the project they have been researching. Your poster will be your only slide.
