About Oral presentation:
The slot for Oral presentation is 15 min. We would advise to prepare your presentation to a maximum of 10-12 min to leave at least 3 min for Q&A. The video of your presentation should be saved in mp4 format – this will be used in case of bad connection. -
About Poster presentation:
We would recommend to:
(1) prepare one single Poster that should be A0 size, vertical – it can then be made available as a PDF printable document. There are no restrictions / template available. Thus, authors can choose the font type and size that better shows your research. We would also recommend to include a header – about 15 cm height with logos (corresponding to the Conference name, Title of the poster and Authors’ names, and your affiliation(s).
(2) prepare 2 or 3 slides that can be commented by you and saved as a video presentation or a short video – mp4 format. Anyway, this must not exceed 2-3 min to play.
