Programme (pdf)

Presentations

Authors of oral presentations have to prepare their presentations as power point or pdf documents. Because of the hybrid format of the Conference, and necessity to share screen via video link, presenters notes could not be displayed as in usual circumstances when presentation is just projected and you could use computer screen for your notes.

Maximum 12 minutes is allocated for presentation, and at least three minutes for questions and discussion. Chairpersons will be instructed to force these limitations sharp. Please take this into account when preparing your talk, especially if you won’t be in Vodice in person.

Authors of poster presentations who will come to Vodice has to arrange their posters in portrait orientation, up to A0 size. All authors of posters has to prepare a pdf document of their poster, which they should send to us when we announce it in few weeks from now. Do not overburden your posters with text. It is not a manuscript.
