Academic posters are a visual form of communicating academic research, projects or literature reviews that often combine elements of text, diagrams and other media to convey ideas as effectively as possible. They have traditionally been used in hard science disciplines (such as medicine, physics or biology), but producing academic posters is becoming increasingly common within social sciences and arts and humanities disciplines as well. Academic posters are usually presented at conferences, exhibitions or networking events and you may be expected to accompany the poster to discuss your work, answer questions and provide additional information. You may also be required to produce a poster for assessment of a module.
