Talks and Posters

Presentation guidelines

• For each oral presentation, there will be a 15 min time slot (12 min for the presentation + 3 min for discussion). In order to allow the audience to switch rooms between sessions, the chairs of each session will be asked to keep a strict time management. Please make sure your presentation stays within the given time frame!
• Keynote talks comprise 30 min (+ max 10 min of discussion).
• Please arrive at your session room at least 15 min in advance of your session. This will give you time to meet with your session chair and familiarise with the setting. One of our conference volunteers will be available to support the session and assist with the technical setup.
