What is a Research Poster
A Research Poster is a structured presentation of the presenter's research in the form of a poster. This allows viewers to absorb the key points of research from a brief viewing. Posters are an important method of sharing research, especially at academic conferences. Research posters are generally accompanied by a brief presentation by the researcher.
