1. Template for ISERN Instructions:  Keep your main message short and clear: you can discuss the details in person or provide additional background material to those that are interested in details (Presentation template starts with slide 3 you have max 10 min.)  Include the filled in template (slide 2) in this file as a part of your poster  Prepare a poster to be available during the ISERN meeting  describe the type of research you do, your institution and your background, specifically focusing on empirical research  Your poster can be a single sheet, full poster or consist of other single pages that you put together on site  Keep the font size big enough so that people can read your message from a normal poster viewing distance  Prepare your poster and be prepared to set it up on site before the meeting starts  You may have hardcopies of your most relevant papers available as well
