Instructions for Rapporteurs

Oral Sessions

For regular session, a laptop PC with PowerPoint (Office 2007) and Adobe Acrobat Reader for pdf files (suggested) is available in the room. Speakers can also employ their own laptop, however this option is discouraged in order to reduce the time interval between the presentations.

Poster Sessions

Posters should have a maximum size of 95 cm x 195 cm in portrait (vertical) orientation and have to be sellotaped to the panel at the beginning of the session, at the time indicated in the program. Then, a presenter is required to be at the poster during the coffee breaks and, if possible, during the lunches. Authors can leave the poster unattended during the other regular sessions in order to participate to them.
