Tropentag 2025:

Poster Presentations

Abstract correction

All abstracts of accepted contributions will be compiled in the book of abstracts, which will be available on-line. All authors of accepted contributions will have the opportunity to revise their abstract

Therefore, you are kindly requested to check your abstract for any mistakes and to report all necessary corrections to the organising committee via E-Mail. Please make the corrections visible as it is not possible to replace the whole abstract. Be aware that after August 1^st, we will not process any corrections in your abstract.

Poster format

Please prepare your poster in DIN A0 (841mm x 1189mm) or DIN A0 Oversize (882mm x 1247mm), upright format (Portrait!!!) as the poster boards will not accommodate "landscape" formats. Please note that the organisers are not able to provide a printout of posters.
However, you should upload your poster till September 10.

If you wish to incorporate the Tropentag logo, you can download it here: as .eps (1.6 MB) or as .jpg (650 kB).

In case you wish to additionally distribute DIN A4 or DIN A3 copies of your poster, please bring these along.
