Presentation Guidelines

Paper Sessions

  • Each author will have 10 minutes for oral presentation plus 5 minutes to discussion.

  • Each speaker has to be present, at least, 10 minutes before the session and upload her/his presentation and the supporting material.

  • Presentations have an allocated time of 10 minutes + 5 minutes for discussion. Participants have 2 minutes to move from one presentation to another.

  • No particular template is proposed for the digital support, but a PowerPoint or PDF file are expected. If you need another type of digital support you should contact the organizing committee.

  • All session rooms are equipped with a data projector and laptop computer.

    • Bring your presentation on a Windows readable USB memory stick.

    • When building your presentation, use standard fonts (e.g., Times Roman, Helvetica, Arial, New Times Roman), basic fonts are included on the session room PCs.

    • Include in the same folder of your presentation, any external files utilized, e.g. movie files. Copy the entire folder to the USB memory stick.

    • Test your presentation on a separate PC compatible computer to ensure fonts are standard and components such as movies are included rather than merely linked in your presentation.

Important note: if the author doesn’t attend the session, is not possible to guarantee the certificate of the presentation.

 

 

Debate Sessions

  • Each debate session (1h30m) will be organized in 3 main parts, chaired by one of the presenters (moderator).

  • In the 1st Part (30min), each author should present a 5min oral presentation (key ideas of the paper) and, at the end, launch 1 or 2 driving questions for the debate, according to findings from his/her paper. The driving question should be engaging, open-ended and inspiring for participants, creating curiosity and discussion about the theme in debate. These questions should be the guiding principle for the debate that takes in the 2nd Part. The session moderator should register the driving questions after each presentation on the whiteboard, to facilitate the discussion phase.

  • In the 2nd Part (40min), the moderator should recall the driving questions on the whiteboard and start the debate. All participants should be engaged in the discussion, including the audience and the presenters. The moderator can manage the session as he/she prefers. In the 3rd Part (20min), the moderator and the presenters should prepare a short sum-up of the conclusions and main ideas from the discussion, including the answers to some of the driving questions. At the end, participants are welcome to continue to share experiences and research in future opportunities and activities.

 

 

Interactive Poster Session

  • The interactive poster session will be structured in 3 periods (30 minutes each):

    • In the first period, the author should be close to his poster and briefly present it to the other participants (approx. 3 min).

    • In the second period the participants (including the authors) circulate around the room and whenever they wish, put questions / comments / suggestions near the posters (using post-its available on site).

    • In the last period, the authors will answer/comment the questions/comments/suggestions.
