SCIENTIFIC MEETING
27 - 28 June 2005, Milan
POSTERS’ SESSION PROPOSAL
DRAFT DOCUMENT
Introduction
The different AlpCity Case Studies - which will be deeply exploited during the working groups’ session of the 1st Conference’s day (27th June 2005) - will be the core subject of the whole AlpCity meeting.
The SSC has considered the possibility of a plenary presentation of each case study but this kind of presentation would take too much time. In opposite this time could be used for a further discussion and debate among the Project Partners and Conference’s participants.
Therefore, the Scientific Steering Committee is proposing a posters’ session able to present in synthesis the Case Studies. The posters - which have to be finalised by the Project Partners - will be displayed in a suitable area accessible during the whole AlpCity trans-national meeting. This posters’ session will allow all the participants to explore and compare on their own the different local projects. Furthermore, the posters’ authors and the conference’s participants will have the opportunity to exchange information and discuss during the coffee breaks held in the posters’ exhibition area.
Posters’ contents and layout
Each Partner is responsible for preparing and printing its own poster(s) which could include information concerning one or more Case Studies implemented by each PP. Wooden stands, pins and tape will be provided on site before the Conference in order to allow each Partner to install its own Poster(s). Partners will required to remove the Posters before leaving. The size of the poster should be 100 cm x 140 cm. The posters have to be in English and present some minimum standards (e.g. dimension of letters, pictures and maps should be readable and visible from a distance of 1-2 meters.
