Scientific presentations will be held orally and will be given in English (conference language) or German. Usually, presentations will have the following durations:

• For contributed talks a total of 15 minutes including discussion time and speaker change (12 min talk + 3 min discussion/speaker change).
• For invited talks a total of 30 minutes including discussion time and speaker change (25 min talk + 5 min discussion/speaker change).
• For plenary talks are 45 minutes without discussion.

For further information on the language or length of the presentation, please contact the division or working group in which you have submitted your presentation.

PCs/laptops will be available in all lecture halls. Therefore, the presentation should be recorded onto an USB stick as back-up in PDF and power point format. Of course, you can also use your own laptop – please consider to bring your own adapter if required.

All lecture rooms are equipped with projectors (“beamers”). The projectors mainly display in the 4:3 format. However they are compatible with the 16:9, limited to the display width. Some newer systems also work directly with 16:9. A majority of lecture halls offers radio microphone amplifiers as well. OHPs are not available.

All lecture rooms will be opened, at the latest, 30 minutes prior to the lecture. Speakers are requested to be in the lecture room at least 20 minutes prior to the start of the session, to report to the chairperson of the session as well as the technical staff to receive a brief introduction to the equipment in the lecture room.
