Important Note
Presentations should be uploaded to the presentation computer in the lecture hall at the earliest of your convenience but not later than the last break before the session of presentation. The time for the talk is 25 min + 5 min discussion.

Both MacOS and Windows machines will be available, installed with standard presentation software (PowerPoint, Acrobat, Preview, and Keynote). You may also bring your own computer or presentation device provided that it is fitted with the appropriate VGA output and that you are capable of installing and testing the machine prior to the scheduled session time.

The prefered size of the posters is A0 or ArchE portrait (i.e. higher than wide).
