Submission Guidelines for Presentation Catagories
1. Poster
2. One slide - 5 minutes presentation
3. Oral presentation
4. Workshop
1. Poster
Preparing your poster
- All posters have to be in English.
- Organise your poster as follows:
Introduction/Background – Objective/Methods – Results – Conclusions
- Keep all elements of your poster (pictures, tables, graphics, drawings, photos) simple.
- Remember that the visitor has to be able to read the text from a distance of up to 1.5 m.
- Make sure that the poster speaks for itself and does not require extensive explanations.
- Plan your layout in such a way that the viewer can move her/his eyes from left to right and from top to bottom with appropriate breaks.
- Try to prepare a poster in one part - if constructed with many parts make sure to know the order.
- References can be presented in smaller font size, but you will need to restrict the number of references to a maximum of 6.
- It is also useful to have A4 sheet handouts similar to the poster. This provides a useful ‘take-away’ resource. Please make sure you provide your contact details on the handout.
2. One slide - 5 minutes presentation
The ‘One-slide-five-minutes’ session are held as open ‘café’ sessions where the audience is presented with 10 short interesting presentations. We anticipate high interest.
Preparation of your presentation
- All presentations will be held in English.
- You will have maximum five minutes to present your work including one-two minutes for discussion.
- You can use only one PowerPoint slide.
- Colour is attractive on data slides but use light colours only.
- Do not cover too many details.

- Avoid commercial reference. Advertising of products is prohibited.
- Remember that you have to communicate with the audience in a limited time.
- If you exceed your time, the session chairperson will terminate your presentation.
- Identify yourself to the session chairperson 10 minutes before the session.
The PowerPoint slide for the ‘One slide-five-minute’ presentation must be sent before the Conference. It is not possible to upload the slide for this presentation from the Speakers Lounge during the conference.
3. Oral presentation
- All presentations will be held in English.
- Do not cover too many details.
- Discuss only the major points of your work, supported by the conclusions drawn from your data to the audience in a limited time.
- A rushed presentation with too many slides is of no use to the audience.
- If you exceed your time, the session chairperson will be forced to terminate your presentation.
- Identify yourself to the session chairperson 10 minutes before the session.
- Follow the instructions of the chairperson; especially regarding the time for your talk.
- Each session will last 60 or 75 minutes.
- The chairs are responsible for disposing time.
- There will be 5-6 presentations in each session with a time frame, as follows:
- Presentation (10 minutes)
- Discussion (5 minutes)
4. Workshop
Another traditional form of session is a Workshop session. Workshops can provide participants with an opportunity to extend their knowledge and strengthen their skills in the area addressed by the workshop. These sessions provide a longer time period for interaction
Please use the following structure in a workshop abstract:
Background / Aim of the Workshop / Methods/ Results and Conclusions
Workshops are allotted 75 minutes time slots. This longer time period allows presenters to delve deeper into the topics presented.
