Key topics included the structure and common elements of a research poster, such as the title, author names, introduction, methods, results, discussion, recommendations, references, and acknowledgements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Participants learned guidelines for creating an effective poster, emphasizing clarity, conciseness, and visual appeal. Recommendations included limiting text to 1,000 words, using bullet points, selecting appropriate font sizes, and maintaining a balance of text, visuals, and white space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The workshop also highlighted the importance of knowing the audience and preparing a concise narrative to convey the research\u2019s significance. During the Q and A session, Dr Kohnke recommended a powerful application \u2013 Canva, for preparing academic documents, including poster design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"617\" src=\"https:\/\/gs.eduhk.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/20250207_Lucas_1-1024x617.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2815\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gs.eduhk.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/20250207_Lucas_1-1024x617.png 1024w, https:\/\/gs.eduhk.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/20250207_Lucas_1-300x181.png 300w, https:\/\/gs.eduhk.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/20250207_Lucas_1-768x463.png 768w, https:\/\/gs.eduhk.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/20250207_Lucas_1.png 1298w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"628\" src=\"https:\/\/gs.eduhk.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/20250207_Lucas_2-1024x628.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2818\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gs.eduhk.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/20250207_Lucas_2-1024x628.png 1024w, https:\/\/gs.eduhk.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/20250207_Lucas_2-300x184.png 300w, https:\/\/gs.eduhk.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/20250207_Lucas_2-768x471.png 768w, https:\/\/gs.eduhk.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/20250207_Lucas_2-1536x943.png 1536w, https:\/\/gs.eduhk.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/20250207_Lucas_2.png 1597w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Lucas Kohnke, EdD Programme Coordinator and Senior L &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/gs.eduhk.hk\/zh-hant\/event-highlight\/postgraduate-students-learn-presentation-skills-for-academic-posters\/\">Continued<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2815,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-2632","event-highlight","type-event-highlight","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gs.eduhk.hk\/zh-hant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-highlight\/2632","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gs.eduhk.hk\/zh-hant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-highlight"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gs.eduhk.hk\/zh-hant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event-highlight"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gs.eduhk.hk\/zh-hant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2815"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gs.eduhk.hk\/zh-hant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
