General guidance:
Please arrive at your session early (10-15 minutes in advance) and present yourself to the moderators before the start of the session. Make sure to not exceed the allotted time for your presentation. For a smooth transition between speakers, be prepared to proceed to the stage as soon as the previous speaker has finished. For lightning talks, please wait at the side of the stage while the previous speaker is presenting.
Conflict of Interest and License Slide
All oral presentations (scientific and educational) must include a conflict-of-interest (COI) slide. It is strongly encouraged for Lightning Talks.
Additionally, we strongly encourage to clearly identify the copyright license under which you wish to release your presentation. This will allow the ESMRMB, or any other party, to properly redistribute and reuse your content only according to the terms that you specifically agree to.
We suggest the usage of the CC-BY license, which ensures that the work will be properly attributed to you if reproduced or redistributed.
Please use our provided powerpoint template.
Lightning Talks
The lightning talk format includes a short oral presentation followed by a poster session. The first part (30 or 45 min) of each lightning talk session consists of stage presentations in the room indicated in the program. The last 45 minutes of each lightning talk session is dedicated to the posters, which will be displayed in the regular poster area. Please put up your poster in advance and note the location. Once the oral session is finished, please proceed quickly from the seminar room to the poster area.
Please see guidelines for oral presenters for preparing your slides. The oral presentation is max. 2.5 minutes per abstract. There is no limit to the number of slides, but please make sure to not exceed the allotted time. As the presentation schedule is tight, the moderators will be instructed to interrupt any presentation that is too long.
For preparing your poster, please see guidelines for poster presenters.
Posters
All posters are traditional printed posters. Please print your poster in size A0 (portrait) 80 x 120 cm. It is recommended to include the program number and contact details of the corresponding author on the poster.
Please note the program number to locate your poster. Poster panels will be marked accordingly. Make sure to put up your poster as early as possible during the congress. Posters will remain accessible to participants in the poster area also outside the poster sessions. The poster area has the following opening hours:
- Thursday, 1 October: 8:00 – 17:00
- Friday, 2 October: 8:00 – 19:00
- Saturday, 3 October: 8:00 – 14:00
You are expected to be present at your poster for the duration of your poster session. On Friday, 2 October, at 17:00-19:00 the poster area will be open for the poster drinks. This is an opportunity both to view other people’s posters, and to hover near your own poster to connect with others interested in your work. Grab a drink and prepare for discussions in an informal atmosphere.
Please note that the poster area closes at 14:00 on Saturday, 3 October. Please make sure to have removed your poster before closure. Remaining posters will be disposed of.
