Guidelines for Oral Presentations

Lecture Rooms

Oral presentations are organized in Oral Sessions scheduled in specific lecture rooms given in the programme together with the time of presentation of each contribution (start time).

In general, each lecture room is equipped with two overhead projectors, one slide projector, a flip chart or blackboard, spare transparencies with markers/felt pens and a speaker's desk. In addition, there is one large screen or two separate screens to allow for double projection at any time.

One projectionist will be present in each lecture room. He/she will accept and show the slides and help the chairperson and the speakers.

In general, 15 min. are reserved for contributed and 30 min. for solicited papers, including discussions and change over.

Slides

Speakers intending to show slides during their presentation, must deliver them clearly marked (name, sequence number and thumb mark) to the corresponding projectionist well before the beginning of the respective session.

All slides will be projected by special slide projectors from the back of each lecture room. Speakers should therefore prepare their slides to withstand the heat. Otherwise they should contact the conference staff for re-framing their slides in special glass.

Authors who need two slide projectors or a video/PC projector should include so in their TeX file when using the Abstract LaTeX Macro or, otherwise, in their Abstract Submittal Information or on their Abstract Submittal Information + Upload Form or contact the EGS Office well before the Meeting. In any case, for PC/MAC demonstrations authors must bring and install their own computer and software.

Additional Poster or Video Presentation

Authors are invited to extend/support their oral contributions by presenting, in addition, a poster and/or a video demonstration. Corresponding papers will be scheduled accordingly in the Poster Sessions in the conference programme. Authors should include an appropriate notice in the submittal information of their abstract and contact the Guidelines for Poster Presentations.

Oral Summary of Poster Papers

Conveners may ask authors of (certain) poster papers of their Session to provide a short, 2-5 min. summary of their contribution during their Oral Session. The corresponding papers will be scheduled in the conference programme and the authors will be notified accordingly.
