A lot of hard work and dedication goes into designing and presenting a poster at a scientific conference so it’s natural to want to capture the moment with a photo.
Candid photos taken by a conference photographer can look great but nothing shows the pride of a poster presenter more than a well-captured poster selfie.
What’s your poster selfie style?
The smiler

The pure joy of presenting a poster takes over and your happiness can be seen through a broad smile.
The professional

Taking poster-presenting seriously and showing off your whole poster.
The institute promoter

Yes the content of your poster is important, but why not use your poster selfie to thank the institute and supporters who have helped your research by highlighting their logos.
The sharer

Research is a team effort so why not share your poster selfie with the colleagues and friends who have contributed.
The atmospheric one

Conference hall lighting can be extreme and create an atmospheric photo highlighting parts of your poster.
The bursary winner

The EACR offers bursaries for all of our meetings to help fund young researchers to attend. We love seeing photos of bursary winners making the most of their experiences at these conferences
