1. Slide projector

2. Overhead projector

3. Computer (IBM) and video projector for PowerPoint presentations. You need to bring your presentation on a ZIP disk (only IBM format, we cannot guarantee MAC format to work). Also consider bringing an alternative visual presentation in case the computer equipment fails.

Time:

12 minutes of presentation plus 3 minutes for discussion

Make sure you keep the time limit!!

We will have session chairs that will indicate to you when you have reached the 10-minute mark. To maintain our schedule they will cut you off after 12 minutes no matter whether your presentation is finished or not.

Practice and time yourself before giving your presentation

Audience:

Presentations should be prepared to reach an interdisciplinary scientific audience. You may assume the audience has basic scientific knowledge, but do not assume the audience is intimately familiar with your specific field or jargon commonly used in your field. Therefore, you should either avoid that jargon or define and explain acronyms, terms, and concepts.

Judging:

Judges will be using judging sheets to evaluate your presentation. Please familiarize yourself with this sheet and design your presentation accordingly. Judging criteria can be found here.
