[Tex/LaTex] How to keep multiple authblk affiliation in tikzposter in one line

authblktikzposter

I came across this example that shows how to use affiliations in tikzposter using authblk package.

I would like to do something similar, but having several institutions with relatively short names – I would like to save space on the top of the poster and keep them in one line.

How can that be achieved?

Best Answer

Add the following lines after loading the package authblk.

\usepackage{authblk} % improved author and affiliation design
\makeatletter
\renewcommand\maketitle{\AB@maketitle} % revert \maketitle to its old definition
\renewcommand\AB@affilsepx{\quad\protect\Affilfont} % put affiliations into one line
\makeatother
\renewcommand\Affilfont{\Large} % set font for affiliations

\renewcommand\maketitle{\AB@maketitle} % revert \maketitle to its old definition
\renewcommand\AB@affilsepx{\quad\protect\Affilfont} % put affiliations into one line
