Symposium or Oral Presenters
Symposia and oral presentations are organised in (parallel) sessions between 4 and 5 speakers per session. Each individual presentation runs for 15-20 minutes, depending on th number of presentations, including 3-5 minutes for questions and changing speakers. The total run time of a session is about 80 minutes, providing 10 minutes buffer time before the start of the next timeslot.
For oral presentations, the last speaker is always the chair. For symposia, the chair(s) are provided in the program and usually correspond to those researchers that have submitted the symposium overview.
All session rooms are equipped with a desktop computer (running Windows) and a projector, but you can also connect your laptop. Always bring your slides on a USB memory stick (or USB flash drive) (even if you plan to use your laptop) and copy the file onto the presentation computer in time before the session starts. To avoid missing symbols/accents, we recommend using the PDF format (instead of powerpoint).
