RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PRESENTATION

We would appreciate your cooperation in maintaining the quality of
presentations by observing the following points:

Please, write the title and the abstract of your presentation relating
it to the conference theme. The title of the presentation should
clearly reflect its content.

Abstracts should express explicitly what will be done during the
presentation. It usually provides a brief theoretical support for the
subject followed by a summary of the content and/or activities of
the presentation.

Do not forget to send an attachment with the description (Max. 500
words) of your presentation.

Participants usually ask for handouts. These handouts should be
written clearly, outlining the main ideas. Please have them
proofread. All handouts should be provided by the institution you
are representing.

During the presentations, minimize reading as much as possible.
When it is a workshop, participants prefer to be actively involved.

Less experienced speakers should consider effective public
speaking skills which depend on the organization of ideas, clarity
in presentation, audio visual aids, active pacing, and body
language.
