Guideline for Poster Presentations

Poster board

Poster Format:

The allocated space per poster is approximately 900 mm × 2100 mm. There are no specific format restrictions, while A0 size is recommended. Please ensure that your poster does not exceed the allocated space, especially large landscape posters, which may extend beyond the board.
The ‘title’ and ‘authors’ should be clearly displayed in large print across the top of the poster.

Poster Display and Removal:

All posters must be displayed before lunchtime on the day of the presentation and removed at the end of the same day. Please make sure to check your assigned poster number on the board. Any posters remaining after the end of the session day will be removed and temporarily stored by the organizers. The posters not collected will be discarded. Pushpins will be available in the poster hall. Please return the pins after removing your poster.
Any posters not verified at check-in prior to display will be removed from the session.

K. Ron Klueh Memorial.

Dr. Ronald Klueh, a retired materials scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, passed away on March 23, 2024.
He was a pioneer in the field of RAFM steels for fusion applications and made significant contributions to ferritic/martensitic steel research.
A memorial session will be held to honor his achievements and emphasize the progress made through his works.
