Abstract

There are several different ways for presenting research results. Writing and publishing an article is often the best format for such presentation, however other methods such as presenting the results in a scientific gathering/meeting can also be suitable. Usually there are two different forms of such a presentation: firstly, through a short scientific talk and secondly, by designing a poster.
