Guidelines for Papers and Poster Presentations
Guide for Paper Presentations:
1) You should introduce yourself to the Chairperson during the break
preceding your session and listen carefully to the information given. The
Chairperson will communicate all the last minute changes in the programme
and may provide other important information.
2) Individual oral presentations should be 15 minutes in duration, followed by 5 minutes for questions and discussion. The Chairperson will confirm the time allocated to your presentation before the session as there may be small variations between the various sessions. Please keep to the time allocated for your presentation! Discussion panels and other collectively suggested sessions should keep to the time limit of two hours.
3) There will be a PC available in each presentation
room, connected to a Data Projector. You should copy your PowerPoint
presentation file to the PC
beforehand to avoid any loss of time during the session. Therefore,
you should contact the technical assistant of your presentation room at the
latest during the break that precedes your session and provide your file
to him/her.
4) The title of your presentation file should include the following: Session number and
your name. For example, the presentation label of Ms Jones in Session 1
would be: Session_1_Jones. You
can find your session numbers in the final conference programme that will
be posted on the website a few days before the conference.
5) The file can be brought on the
following formats: CD, floppy disc
or on USB Keys. All files
should be Microsoft compatible. Laptops can be brought as a last
resort, however you should check with the technical assistant that it will
be working with the media projector before your session. If presentations
contain video and/or audio files please remember to check also these with
the technical assistant to ensure that there will be no delays due to
technical problems during your presentation.
6) You can also use the overhead projector or other ”traditional” presentation
tools. Please inform the technical assistants upon your arrival to ensure
that your presentation room will have all the necessary equipment.
