Presentational Guideline

EPS conference (EPScon) 2019 will include a series of student oral presentations, as well as a poster session. We encourage graduate students and post-docs to present their current, original research. Undergraduate students are welcome to attend.

The official language of the conference is English.

There is no registration fee.

 

Lectures

Contents

EPScon aims at a diverse crowd of participants from the environmental, Earth and planetary sciences, with prior backgrounds in physics, chemistry, engineering, biology and more. In accordance to that, your presentation should include proper background for people out of your specific research field, and general enough to appeal for a broad audience.

A successful oral presentation depends on how well you convey information to an interested audience. Include the background of your research to acquaint the audience with the nature and purpose of the study. This is followed by the methodology, results and discussions, and conclusions. An introductory and concluding slide can greatly improve the focus of your lecture.

Allotted Time

Oral presentations are allotted 15 minutes for the presentation and 5 minutes for discussion and changeover time. This is ample time to convey your ideas to the audience in a clear and relaxed atmosphere. Be considerate of the other speakers and the audience by staying within your allotted time.

Presentation-file format

Please bring your presentation as a .ppt or .pdf file on a USB stick. The computer for the presentations will be available to upload your files from the morning, please make sure that your presentation is ready before the session begins.

Available Equipment

The auditorium will be equipped with a standard computer projector. We recommend using the  16:9 ratio.

Posters

Contents

A successful poster presentation depends on how well you convey information to an interested audience. The poster presentation must cover the same material as reported in the abstract. Include the background of your research to acquaint the audience with the nature and purpose of the study. This is followed by the methodology, results and discussions, and conclusions.

Preparation

Prepare your poster presentation so that your ideas are logically organized and your points clear. Address the essential points and leave the details.

Posterboards

Mount your poster in the morning after you register and remove your poster after the last lecture series. We will supply adhesive tapes in order to hang the poster on the boards. Posters remaining after the designated hours will be removed by the organizing committee. The organizing committee will not be responsible for posters and materials left on poster boards after the conference.
