Guidelines for Presentations
 
Chair of the session
 
The last presenter in the session is assigned the role of session chairperson.
 
The chair and the presenters of the session should come a little early to the session room and check the facilities (lightning, overhead). In case of technical difficulties, the chair should contact the conference desk.
 
The chair should also check whether all presenters and discussants are there. In case of someone not showing up, the chair should make arrangements with other presenters and discussants whether and how to fill the gap.
 
Discussants
 
Every presenter is discussant of the previous paper. Hence, the second speaker is discussant of the first paper, the third speaker is discussant of the second paper and so on. The first speaker in the session is discussant of the last paper (the chairperson’s paper).
 
Discussants can download the paper they have to discuss from the conference website. Hence you have to send your paper in PDF-format to the conference committee before March 15!!
 
Time Constraints
 
Every paper in the sessions gets no more than 30 minutes, to be allocated as follows:
  • Presentation: 20 minutes;
  • Discussant’s remarks + brief reply by presenter: 5 minutes;
  • Questions: 5 minutes;
Guidelines for paper presentations
In every room, an overhead projector is available. Presenters should bring their own transparencies.
 
There are NO beamers available for Powerpoint (or other software) presentations. Hence print out your slides on transparencies.
 
Please respect the time constraint of 20 minutes for your paper presentation.
 

Focus in your presentation on the problem setting, relation and innovation compared to existing literature, main results and conclusions. Do not enter into excessive technical details and maths. Please have a look at:
