Your lecture at the conference
The presentation time of the regular lectures is 20 minutes.
Each lecture block will be followed by a discussion with all speakers.
The keynote lecture and plenary lectures are scheduled to last 30 minutes each.
There will be no discussion after these lectures.
Design
There is NO template from the organizer - i.e. the visual design of the presentation is up to each speaker.
However, illegible texts, illustrations and tables at previous conferences give us reason to point out a number of points regarding the design of the presentation documents:
- If possible, use the presentation in landscape format, as the screen is usually wider than it is high. The 16:9 format is optimally supported.
- Format large enough (e.g: Headings: Times New Roman 36 pt.; font height of the text: 24 pt. “BIG IS BEAUTIFUL”).
- Light background colors make it easier to read on the screen.
- No overly detailed graphics (illegible) - use enlarged sections instead.
Technical equipment
The following audiovisual media are available for the presentation of your lecture:
- Headset or handheld microphone
- Laser pointer with presentation function (slide forward / back)
- Video projector with computer (Microsoft Office LTSC 2024 Professional Plus - PowerPoint
ATTENTION! It is NOT possible to use laptops that you have brought yourself!
Bringing the presentation on a USB stick is only possible in exceptional cases. In such cases, the presentation must be handed over to the room supervisor in the lecture hall at the latest one break before your lecture block (NOT in the break immediately before the block).
All computers are equipped with a Microsoft Office LTSC 2024 package, so we recommend that you also create or save your PowerPoint presentation in this version to avoid any animation or display problems.
Test runs
The submitted presentations will be opened by the organizer in the respective lecture hall on a test basis. Further tests - such as playing films or checking for animations - will not be carried out.
