Session presentations
Focus sessions and contributed papers are limited to 10 minutes, with two additional minutes for discussion. This is followed by one minute for the transition to the next paper and the introduction of the next speaker. During the talk, the monitor will indicate at eight minutes that the speaker has to finish in two minutes. At 10 minutes, it will indicate that the speaker’s presentation time is over. At 12 minutes, it will mean that transition to the next speaker must occur.
Minisymposium talks are 26 minutes long, including questions and transition. The talks will consist of 20-22 minutes for the presentation, with three to five minutes for discussion and one minute for transition. However, note that the time monitor in the room will keep the regular 13 minute schedule.
