GEOMED 2005: Poster presentations

The conference organisers invite offers of poster presentations in geomedical systems including but not restricted to the themes of the conference.

The intention to submit one or more posters should be submitted to Professor Robert Haining (rph26@cam.ac.uk). There is no deadline as presenters are advised to bring their posters themselves but if for some reason they cannot do so, then they can send them to the Department of Geography, University of Cambridge, in advance.

Please note that posters will be presented vertically, with 2 per board, and around A3 in size (90cm x 55cm). There is no specified format or layout to the poster design.
