Guidelines for Presentations

Posters

The poster boards have a size of 120 cm (horizontally) by 150 cm (vertically). This corresponds to 47 by 59 inch. So an A0 format poster would fit in portrait as well as in landscape mode on the board.

All posters will be up during the whole meeting. You can put up your posters starting from Tuesday afternoon/evening. Please put your poster up on the board showing your poster number and abstract. You can find your poster number in the programme (left column).

There are two dedicated poster sessions followed by a coffee break:
→ Wednesday, 15:10-16:10 and
→ Thursday, 15:30-16:10.

Talks

For the talks we suggest that you use the computer installed at the lecture hall, if possible. This runs the most recent Windows operating system with up-to date versions of programs to display PowerPoint and PDF files.

Using the lecture hall computer has the major advantage that we do not loose time for connecting the laptops and solving display problems, should they occur. If you have complicated movies included in your presentation, it might be preferable if you use your own laptop. Mac users who prepared their talk in PowerPoint might also use the computer in the lecture hall. If you use Keynote, please use your own laptop.

Please make sure to deliver and test your talk at the lecture hall computer at least during the break before the session before your own session!
Only this can assure that a problem that might occur can be solved.
If you use your own laptop, ensure to test that everything works fine at least during the break before the session before your own session!
Speakers of the first session (Wednesday before lunch) are asked to check on Tuesday evening, if possible.

All contributed talks are 15 minutes plus 5 minutes of discussion time. Because we hope to have lively discussions, please make an effort to stay within the 15 minutes. The chairmen will keep an eye on the timing...
For the invited talks the same guideline applies, only that invited speakers should leave a bit more time (about 10 minutes) for discussions.
