All oral presenters, including invited key-note speakers, must submit a manuscript for the Acta Horticulturae. The maximum length of an invited key-note paper is 16 pages, including figures and tables. The maximum length of a selected oral presentation paper is 8 pages, including figures and tables.

Poster Presentations
We recommend poster size A0: 118,9 cm (height) x 84,1 cm (width), portrait orientation.
Posters can have a maximum size of about 147 cm (height) x 97 (width) cm, portrait orientation.
We recommend that one complete sheet, rather than small multiple sheets be used. At the top of the poster, include the title, author name(s) and affiliations (organization, city, country). We suggest the poster to have title letters at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) high. Lettering for the author’s information (name and affiliations) may be smaller (1.25 cm or 0.5 inch).
Inclusion of a recent photograph of the presenting author will help participants to identify the person to discuss their interests. The smallest lettering on the poster should be no less than 10 mm (0.4 inch) high. Illustrations should be visible from a 1 m (3 feet) viewing distance.
We suggest that authors bring at least 25 small (8.5 x 11 inch paper) copies of the poster to hand out to interested participants.
Poster set-up: details regarding time and location will be provided in due time
Authors of posters are welcomed to submit a manuscript for the conference proceedings book which will appear in “Acta Horticulturae” but posters cannot be published as such. The manuscript should be submitted 2 weeks before the symposium starts and not exceed 8 pages, including figures and tables. An average page of text will contain about 800 words. Papers should be written according to Acta Horticulturae guidelines. Click here to download the guidelines.
The manuscript will be reviewed by the Scientific Committee and revised by the author(s) when required. Approved manuscripts the conference proceedings book which will appear in “Acta Horticulturae”
