All presentations should be presented in English with an English written PPT. 

Presentations should be in 16:9 ratio and Movies should be in WMV/ MP4 format.

PPT must be of 10 slides maximum:

First slide – Lecture’ title, followed by 9 slides with content.

Lecture halls will be equipped with projector, screen and computer compatible with at least Windows 7 and Office 2015.

Important note for Macintosh users:

In order to use MAC presentations on a PC compatible computer, please note the following instructions while preparing your presentation prior its uploading in the Speaker Preview Room, to avoid last minute problems of incompatibility: 

Use a common font, such as Arial, Times New Roman, Verdana etc. (special fonts might be changed to a default font on a PowerPoint based PC).


Insert pictures as JPG files (and not TIF, PNG or PICT – these images will not be visible on a PowerPoint based PC).


Use a common movie format, such as AVI, MPG and WMV (MOV files from QuickTime will not be visible on a PowerPoint based PC).
