Guidelines for presenters

Oral Presentations

The total duration of oral presentations, including questions, is:

• 45 minutes for plenary lectures

• 30 minutes for keynote lectures

• 15 minutes for oral communications

Session chairs have been advised to be strict with time, so that the sessions can run smoothly and switching between parallel sessions can be made on time. Please do not go over the allotted time and plan your presentation to leave at least 5 min for questions, in the case of plenary and keynote lectures, and 3 min for oral communications.

You will not be able to plug your own laptop into the conference projection system. So please bring your presentation on a data stick, or other portable memory device, to the organization, as soon as possible, so that it can be loaded onto the conference laptop before the beginning of your session (ideally in the previous day). This will ensure a smooth transition between speakers.

Poster Presentations

Posters (recommended size A0) can be put on display from July 17 (11am) until the end of the conference. Please make sure the poster is fixed in the allocated placard (look for the placard with the number of your poster). Material for fixing the posters to the placards will be available at the registration desk.

Please stand next to your poster during the poster sections. This will promote discussion and will be essential for poster prize evaluations by the selection committee.
