Oral Presentations

The duration of presentation is indicated in the scientific program and will be strictly followed.  We expect everyone to give their presentation in English using Microsoft PowerPoint.  No other visual delivery methods will be available.  We will be using Microsoft Windows on the computers so please ensure the presentations are adaptable if you use another operating system.  All oral presenters are required to provide their PowerPoint file in the Service Room at least 3 hours prior to their presentation.  There will be facilities for you to check your presentation.

Poster Presentations

The title and time of each poster presentation can be found in the poster program.  A poster board size of 90 x 120 cm will be provided.  All the posters will be exhibited on the B1 floor.  Posters should be written in English and consist of an informative title, self-explanatory charts, and figures with text describing the aim of the investigation, methods employed, results obtained and conclusions.  We kindly request poster presenters to stand next to their poster during the last 30 minutes of their session to answer any questions. Thank you for your cooperation.
