Posters Sessions

There are 2 poster sessions as shown on the schedule above. The poster boards will accommodate A0 posters in portrait orientation. There will be at least one prize for the best poster.

The poster titles and numbers are give in the SUSSP71 Programme booklet. Odd numbered posters should be presented on the 25th July, even numbers presented on the 27th July. All posters should be put up before the first session (25th July) and should be taken down after the second session (27th July).

Library Access

The library can arrange visitor access, which requires filling in this form first. Details of access can be found here. The library is situated just North of campus accommodation, in the Curran Building (map).
