Presentation Materials
Handouts
We recommend that presenters who will be using a handout print around 50 copies ahead of the conference. For last-minute printing, the ground floor of the Faculty of Arts building houses a copy center in close proximity to the conference value; a further option close to the conference venue is Eurokopia.
Slides
We ask that presenters using slides send us their presentation ahead of time and/or bring a USB flash drive containing the file. We cannot guarantee that presenters will be able to use their own computer for their presentation, but we will try to accommodate those who prefer to do so. Please note that the projector in the conference room uses a VGA connection (not HDMI), so be sure to bring an adapter if needed.
Guidelines for poster presentations
Posters should be vertical and A0 in size (84 x 118 cm).
Presenters are responsible for putting up/removing their posters at the before/after their session.
If the poster is accompanied by a handout, we suggest presenters bring at least 20 copies.
