Useful Information for Speakers


  1. Oral Presentations. The oral sessions include usually five presentations. Each speaker has 15 minutes for his presentations followed by 3 minutes of answering questions and discussion with the audience (total time for the paper - 18 minutes). Very useful should be 15-minute sand clepsydra.

    The speaker is requested to introduce himself in 2-3 sentences before the paper presentation.

    The session chairmen will inform the speaker about 2 last remaining minutes of his presentation showing him a yellow sheet of paper. After the presentation, the session chairmen will ask the audience for questions and comments.

  2. Facilities. Authors of oral presentations will have at their disposal in each Symposium room: PC computer or laptop with multimedia overhead projector for power-point presentation.

    Conference speakers are requested to come to their session room not later than 10 minutes before the session beginning and to contact the session chairmen and technical personnel in order to prepare their presentation in advance. The speaker presenting the paper should bring his presentation on CD or USB flash memory (USB sticker) and give it to the technical personnel to copy it to the hard drive.

    To avoid any technical problems, it is strictly recommended to use Symposium Organizer’s computers only.

  3. Language. An official Symposium language is English only. Unfortunately simultaneous translations are not provided.

  4. Best Presentation Award. To encourage the authors to give their best concerning the paper presentation, at the end of the Symposium, the best presentation will be awarded.
    The Best Paper Award Committee (session chairmen) will make its decision by looking for:
    • high quality and innovative scientific papers,
    • best and most innovative paper,
    • best performance of the presentation.

    The winner of the best paper award will be presented to the audience at the end of the Symposium during the Closing Ceremony.
