  • Submitted work may be presented either as a poster (default option) or as an oral presentation, after selection by the Scientific Committee based on the final program. The preference whether authors would like an oral or a poster presentation will be done during the submission.

  • An optional PowerPoint (.ppt) template for oral presentations is also provided with the rest of templates.
