 Information for Talks

  • Invited talks (25mins + 5 mins Q&A)
  • Contributed talks (12mins + 3 mins Q&A)
  • Our conference will be held in a large lecture hall. Presenters are encouraged to use large fonts in their slides to make them visible for people at the back of the room.
  • Presenters are invited to bring their laptops and connect to the beamer using VGA or HDMI cables. If so, please ask a member of the LOC to make sure your laptops is able to connect before your session starts.
  • The conference room has also access to a desktop computer in case speakers bring their presentation in a pen drive. Please upload your presentation in advance together with the help of one of the LOC members.
