  • Statement of the problem
  • Significance of the problem
  • Description of the research method
  • Presentation of results or expected results
  • Summary of the work and conclusions

An E-Poster is very different from a paper or a talk, and so, different techniques need to be used in its preparation.

• Posters should be designed to: Catch the viewer's attention, quickly acquaint the viewer with the basics of your subject, and make the viewer want to learn more.
• An E-poster is a digital version of a poster presentation. The e-poster may include text, figures, charts, tables, images, and artwork but does not include any audio, video, web links, or animation.
• The poster file format / extension should be .JPG and .PDF. Both formats should be submitted.
• As an e-poster presenter, you are asked to prepare a single PDF page/Image, using that will be displayed at MEAPEN 2025 on a widescreen monitor.
• The e-poster PDF file and JPEG file should be submitted with pixels width 1080px and height 1920px, PORTRAIT layout.
• Font size: The font size should be 20pt or bigger.
• Images and tables:
  • You are welcome to use images and tables in your presentation.

  • All graphs and tables must be embedded in your file and have titles.
  • Avoid animated GIF files and be mindful of copyrights and personal anonymity with your images or photos.
  • Do not insert or embed any videos in your presentation.
  • Use squares, rectangles, circles, etc., to group similar ideas. Avoid cluttering your poster with too much text. Label different elements as I, II, III or 1, 2, 3 or A, B, C, making it easier for the viewers to follow your display.
