5. It is important that all chairs and co-chairs begin and end the session on time. The person in charge of the room will also foresee that the times are respected.

6. Contributions will take place in the order that has been assigned to them within the program.

7. In case the designated chair fails to show, the co-chair will assume the chairing of the session.

Each symposium will last 90 minutes. The chair will need to adjust the presentation time of each communication within the symposium accordingly to the total number of contributions within the symposium. The person in charge of the conference room will notify the Chair when 10 minutes are left to finalize the session.

Oral sessions will consist of 4 to 5 papers per session (90 minutes long). Each presenter will be allocated 15 minutes for their presentation, including questions. The presentation should take a maximum of 12 minutes, thus allowing around 3 minutes for questions. It is very important that presenters do not take more time than what is allowed. To help the presenter keep track of time, there will be a chair and co-chair of the session that will let know the presenter when they have 5 minutes left. The session Chair will not allow questions after 15 minutes have passed for each presentation.

 

Posters maximum sizes are 0,80m (width) x 1,10m (height).

 

Two different sessions of posters will be on display each day (a total of five sessions), except for the 16^th, when only one session has been scheduled. Due to the structure of the program, the hours will be different for each session so make sure to find out when your session has been scheduled.

 

In order to mount your poster, please check the paperback final program. You will notice there is a number on the left side. This number indicates both the session in which your poster has been included and the number of the correspondent poster panel that has been assigned to you. You should direct yourself to the poster panel 10 minutes before your session begins. There will be material so you can mount your poster without any problems.

 

Remember: Poster panels are numbered according to the numbers listed in the program.

 

Presenters are required to remove their materials from the panels after each session. The Congress organizers do not take responsibility for posters remaining after the indicated ending hour of each session.
