Instructions for presenters
PRESENTATION TECHNOLOGY
A computer (MS Windows environment) will be available in each room for the presentations. Please use either PowerPoint (.ppt or .pptx) or Portable Document Format (.pdf) for presentations. Presenters are requested to bring their presentation on a USB disk. Connecting personal laptops is strongly discouraged!
DURATION
The time available for each paper is 30 minutes, including 20 minutes for presentation, 5 minutes for discussant's comments and 5 minutes for general discussion.
PRESENTERS
Presenters are invited to come to the room 10 minutes prior to the start of the session so that presentations can be copied onto the computer before the session begins. Please avoid using file names including EAERE or 2016, as this may overwrite your colleague's presentation.
All presenters are called upon to discuss a paper. If you are a discussant, you will be discussing a paper in the same session as the one in which you present. You may also be the session's chair.
SESSION CHAIRS
Chairs are invited to come to the room 10 minutes prior to the start of the session. They introduce the session and speakers, make sure that the available time is divided equally over each paper to be presented, and guide the discussion from the floor following the presentation. Although exceptions may occur, the chair is usually the same person as the presenter of the last paper in the session. The conference programme identifies the chairs for individual sessions. In case the scheduled chair does not attend, the presenter of the session's actual last paper is expected to take the role of chair.
DISCUSSANTS
Discussants are expected to provide a brief discussion (about 5 minutes), focusing on specific issues and questions, leaving sufficient time for general discussion from the floor. Any detailed comments can be passed on to the presenter after the session, in written form if preferred. Although exceptions may occur, the discussant is usually the same person as the presenter of the next paper in the session. The presenter of the first paper is usually the discussant of the final paper.
Instruction for Poster sessions
The panel size for a poster stand is 100cmx120cm (width x height). There are no further regulations concerning the design of the posters and no template for poster design is provided. In the past, presenters have typically chosen to bring a printed copy of their poster in format DIN A0 (841x1189mm).
You are kindly asked to put your poster on Wednesday, June 22nd, during the Welcome Reception or on Thursday, June 23rd, before 9:00 at the latest. The Conference Secretariat will provide all the necessary tools and materials (tape, pins etc...) to hang the poster on the panel. The Poster area is situated on the E-floor (see floor plans). The posters will be displayed throughout the entire duration of the Conference. You are asked to dismantle your poster on June 25th, after the end of the scientific sessions.
The four poster sessions are scheduled during the Conference coffee and lunch breaks. Each session will encompass 4 of the posters. The authors of the poster are kindly asked to stay next to their poster for the duration of the session.
Poster Sessions are scheduled during the coffee and lunch breaks on Thursday and Friday.
Please note that there is a Best Poster Award at EAERE Annual Conference. The prize Winners will be given a voucher of the value of €1,000 made available by Springer.
