Presentations

Oral presentations

The oral session will be held on Tusday 13 September starting at 10:00 until 12:50. The time slots will be 20 min long, including questions. The organisers will supply a projector and presentation laptop. If you need any additional supplies please contact the organisers several days before the beginning of the conference at stud-ranlp2011@lml.bas.bg.

Poster presentations

All posters will be presented together on Tuesday 13 September during two poster sessions: one along with the morning coffee break 11:10 - 11:30 and one in the afternoon 15:40 - 16:20 (this slot may shift a little earlier but the lenght will remain the same). To benefit the most of the poster sessions we advise the presenters to post their posters before the morning sessions and be ready to explain their work and answer questions when the poster session starts. The presenters bring their posters and post them on special tableaux and are expected to stand next to them, while interested participants may walk to them and ask questions. The organisers will supply sticking tape, scisors and patafix which are needed for posting on the tableaux. The poster tableau has dimensions 80 (width) x 120 (height) cm, which means that you can show there 12 pages in format A4. Your poster may be a single sheet or a couple of smaller slides which are to be presented together. We recomend the first option.

POSTER PRESENTATIONS
All student posters will be presented during 2 sessions on 13 September. The presenters are advised to post their posters before the morning session, so that they can be ready when the first poster session starts. The posters will stay mounted until the end of the afternoon session. After the morning oral session we advise the poster presenters to already stand near their posters few minutes before the poster session starts and/or have a look at the other posters to be presented and get to know the work of their colleagues at the workshop.
