Submission Guidelines for Presentation Catagories
1. Poster2. One slide - 5 minutes presentation

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.

- All presentations will be held in English.

- A rushed presentation with too many slides is of no use to the audience.

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 or 60 minutes time slots. This longer time period allows presenters to delve deeper into the topics presented.
