Poster Submission Guidelines
Here are a few simple tips that will help you with your poster submission process.Please read the Terms of Submission and make sure you have the hold the copyright on your poster. If you have presented your poster at a conference, you probably have these rights. Just to be sure we ask you to tell us at what conference you presented the poster at.We only allow the upload of pdf files with a size limit ofIf your poster file is really huge, here are some things you can do to help reduce the file size:If you are using Powerpoint or a similar program, print the poster as a handout that fits A4 or US Letterhead sized paper. Most programs allow you to 'print to file' or even better, print as a pdf.
You may need to resize your images in the poster. Screens only display images with 72 dpi, but for print media you should use 300 dpi. Since here you are just displaying your poster on a screen, you can reduce all your images to the smaller resolution.
If you have access to Adobe Professional, or someone in your office does, you can easily reduce the file size through the options menu.If you have any other troubles, just email us.
Virtual Poster Session 2010 - 2012
This effort focuses on bringing the concept of the poster presentation beyond the four walls of the conference halls and creates an online database of polar research poster publications. This project allows members with similar goals and interests to exchange information and assures a platform for the exchange of Arctic, Antarctic and Cryospheric research, policy, and education activities that are Shaping the Future of Polar Research. APECS is leading an effort towards e-conferences among polar researchers where participants can present their research findings to an international audience through web-based settings using the APECS website.
The APECS Virtual Poster Session was initially funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers' Arctic Cooperation Programme.
Share posters you have presented at other conferences, carry on discussions, get feedback from senior researchers in the field and also find new collaborators - Submit your Poster!
Terms of Submission - Virtual Poster Session
Submitting posters to the APECS Virtual Poster Session is currently offered free of charge for all registered APECS members thanks to sponsorship from the Nordic Council of Ministers. APECS reserves the right to change these terms as some date in the future.
By submitting a poster to APECS for online publication you are confirming that you have the required copyright to do so and allowing APECS to include your poster in the Virtual Poster Session for the duration of its existence. Questions about this agreement should be directed to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
