Presenter guidelines: oral

Oral presentations are organised in oral sessions scheduled in specific lecture rooms at specific times. The lecture room and time for each contribution is given in the programme.

The time assigned for each contribution includes discussion and change over. The oral sessions are scheduled in up to three time blocks per day.

The oral presentations are not organised centrally. Therefore, authors are kindly asked to upload their presentations directly in the respective lecture room within 30 minutes preceding the start of the actual time block of the session. A lecture room assistant will be available for any help.

Please inform the session chair and the assistant about the name of the presenting author in case this has changed since the programme was published.
