The Poster Presentation Server Network (PoSN) is a cutting-edge digital platform that enables researchers to deposit, share, and discover poster presentations across various disciplines. This innovative platform offers academic institutions a unique opportunity to create their own poster presentation servers, showcasing research work poster presentations from their academics, events, project competitions, conferences, symposiums, and participants’ research.

By leveraging PoSN, institutions can create their own poster presentation archive, highlighting their contributions to research and development. This not only enhances their Research and Development reputation but also fosters a culture of collaboration, innovation, and entrepreneurship, providing opportunities for incubators, funding agencies, and other stakeholders.

To further support academic institutions, PoSN provides assistance in obtaining an ISSN (International Standard Serial Number), assigns an ISBN (International Standard Book Number) from the Library of ज्ञानम् (Gyanam), and assigns a DOI (Digital Object Identifier at low cost) for each poster presentation. This adds credibility and visibility to their research outputs, amplifying their impact on the global academic community.

PoSN also used to create a digital exhibition platform is designed to facilitate connections between researchers, innovators, and investors, driving innovation and economic growth. By providing a centralized hub for digital exhibitions, PoSN enables stakeholders to identify promising projects and talent, ultimately supporting the development of new ideas and technologies.
