Guidelines for presentations

Oral presentations

Oral presentation time, including questions/answers is 20 minutes. Timekeeping will be enforced by the chairman of the session to keep the synchronisation between parallel sessions. As a general guideline you should calculate 1-2 minutes per slide, so for a 15 minute presentation, more than 10 slides is often too much.

Poster presentations

The format should be A0 (841 x 1189 mm) portrait. Posters must contain authors' names, title of presentation and materials such as graphs, charts, tables and photographs that are necessary to communicate the research effectively.

Each presenter will have his/her own hard standing panel to which the poster will be affixed. A sign for each panel will be provided by the conference organisers and will contain the title of the presentation as submitted, authors' names, and poster number.

Posters will be on display daily starting on Tuesday morning. Authors should be available at their posters for protracted discussions on the poster session : Wenesday, 14 from 16:20 to 19:00.

There will be an award for outstanding poster presentations.
