% ABSTRACT
%----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\headerbox{Abstract}{name=abstract,column=0,row=0}{
The abstract (in one paragraph of 150 words or less) should state briefly the purpose of the research, the essential new information, the principal results and major conclusions. The abstract must be able to stand-alone and references to the manuscript should therefore be avoided. Extended Abstracts must be written in English. The use of “Arial” font, smaller than size 28pt is not recommendable.
\vspace{0.6em}
\textbf{Keywords:} please list a maximum of 5 keywords separated by commas and full stop at the end.
\vspace{0.3em} % When there are two boxes, some whitespace may need to be added if the one on the right has more content

Please follow the format demonstrated here. These instructions serve as an example for proper manuscript production. The figures can be in color since the document is published online.
All standard poster components are specified for three reasons:
\begin{itemize}\compresslist
\item ease of use when formatting,
\item compliance to electronic requirements,
\item and conformity of style.

% MATERIALS AND METHODS

The following materials were required to complete the research:
\begin{itemize}\compresslist
\item Curabitur pellentesque dignissim
\item Eu facilisis est tempus quis
\item Duis porta consequat lorem
\item Eu facilisis est tempus quis
\end{itemize}
The following equations were used for statistical analysis:
\begin{equation}
\cos^3 \theta =\frac{1}{4}\cos\theta+\frac{3}{4}\cos 3\theta
\label{eq:refname}
\end{equation}\
\begin{equation}
E = mc^{2}
\label{eqn:Einstein}

Additional recommendations:
\begin{itemize}\compresslist
\item Structure your poster by Abstract, Methods, Results and Conclusions.
\item Every graphic/table should have a caption.
\item Do not justify blocks of text on both sides.
\item Highlight your main finding.
\item If possible, avoid abbreviations and acronyms.
\item Where possible, express points as bullets rather than paragraphed text.
\item Use a constant font throughout the poster.
\end{itemize}
\textbf{Rule of thumb:}
The poster is supposed to be readable in screen laptops. Check your final design in full screen.
