Posters and Oral Presentations
Posters and oral presentations will be treated on a par scientifically by the
Scientific Committee. The presentation format distinction is merely associated
to medium of presentation adequacy and does not reflect a scale of scientific
relevance. Each oral presentation session will last for 2 hours. Oral
presentations should last for 20 minutes. Each oral presentation session will
have 40 minutes for discussion. Posters will be in exhibition for the entire
conference period. During poster presentation sessions, small tables will be
