Spanish term

comunicaciones y posters

Spanish to English Other Idioms / Maxims / Sayings conferences and congresse
From a doctor's CV, a section on "Comunicaciones y Posters"

They would appear to be presentations, papers, speeches, but how to distinguish? Further complicated by use of adjective "oral", e.g.

3) Amiloidosis Nodular Vulvar (Póster)
E. Sotomayor López, P. García Martín, S. Ibañes del Agua, E. Daudén Tello, J. Fraga Fernández, A. García Díez.
XXXVIII Congreso Nacional de Dermatología y Venereología.
Málaga, Mayo de 2010.

4) Endometriosis Cutánea Umbilical. Estudio de 2 casos. (Comunicación Oral)
E. Sotomayor, P. García-Martín, E. Vargas-Díez, Y. Delgado, J.Fraga, A. García-Díez
Reunión de la Sección Centro de la AEDV, 28 de Octubre de 2010.


Would "comunicaciones" be "presentations"? What about "posters"? I don't think they mean placards here ...
Proposed translations (English)
4 +5 presentations / papers and poster sessions

Jenni Lukac (X) Feb 8, 2012:
I don't think it will come up in the context of a CV, but related to "poster sessions", the posters are usually foldable panels or "roll-up" displays. These are becoming popular at conferences, not only for academic participants, but also for sponsors.
philgoddard Feb 8, 2012:
Asker It sounds like you don't know what posters are in this context. They allow conference participants to give presentations without actually standing up and talking, by summarising what they have to say (for example, their research projects). The posters are displayed so that other participants can read them during breaks.

presentations / papers and poster sessions

It would be best to ask to client whether these are presentations or papers, although you can probably tell from the list on the CV. If both are included, you might want to expand your header to "Presentations, Papers and Poster Sessions."
Peer comment(s):

agree philgoddard : I don't think there's any ambiguity - you either give a presentation or a poster session.

Thanks, Phil. Sometimes people use the words "comunicación", "ponencia" indiscriminately to refer to papers and presentations. These look like presentations, but there may be papers lurking further down the list of accomplishments.

El Póster

El póster no debe ser considerado como un tipo de comunicación de segunda mano, incluso, en muchas ocasiones los pósters recogen las aportaciones más interesantes de un congreso. Así, en los últimos años algunos congresos científicos han eliminado las clásicas presentaciones en forma de comunicaciones orales y todas las contribuciones lo han de ser en forma de póster.

Las presentaciones orales se reservan para conferencias, mesas redondas, seminarios, etc. En las que participan como ponentes los autores más reconocidos en cada área de interés.

El póster es una alternativa a la comunicación oral que tiene la misma finalidad que ésta pero que además ofrece la posibilidad de poder presentar estudios, proyectos, experiencias que por diversos motivos no se puedan presentar como comunicación oral.
