Registration and Presentation

We are looking forward to seeing you in June!

All participants are asked to orally present their work. In addition to the oral presentation, participants can present their work as a traditional poster or as a creative alternative presentation. There are prizes for best performance in all three categories! Check them out in FAQs section.

A participant can attend the EMPSEB conference only once during their PhD studies.

Oral Presentation Guidelines

  • The presentation should last no longer than 15 minutes. It includes 12 minutes presentation and 3 minutes of discussion. If the presentation extends beyond the allowed time, the organisers have the right to interrupt it.
  • You can submit your presentation to us latest 24hrs before the talk. Link for talk submission is to be sent later.
  • Please bring your presentation file on a USB flash drive as a backup plan.
  • The file’s name should start with the session name followed by the hour and then with the presenter’s name.
  • Please prepare your presentation in .ppt, .pptx (Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003-2017 format), or .pdf file.
  • Presentations will be removed from the presentation computer hard drive at the end of each session, and from our Google Drive at the end of the conference.
  • There will be no option of using your own laptop.

Poster Presentation Guidelines

  • All posters must be prepared in English.
  • Poster boards will accommodate A0-size posters in portrait (vertical) format.

Alternative Presentation Guidlines

The alternative session allows for your total creative freedom over your scientific communication. Poetry? Creative dance? A sculpture? The sky is the limit! We will work around your submission styles to get you what you need to shine, be it a microphone, projector, display stand, or Peregrine falcon. Dare to dream.

Feel free to present an experiment or even an overview of your PhD. We look forward to your creativity!
