Oral-Poster   Presenters

Each presenter will talk  for up to  5 minutes, exactly.    One  can choose not to present the poster orally.

The posters  will be grouped according to their content to facilitate interaction.  

ONLY  OVERHEAD projector  will be available for each group.    

Include in the oral presentation of your poster only the very essential information and try to present it in small sentences.   Describe clearly the aim of the research.  Give emphasis on the experimental design, results and conclusions.   

                    Your talk  should fit in an

                     A4  double spaced  page.

During the poster session, you will stand by your poster so that you can discuss with colleagues about your  research.

This interactive presentation is one of the most interesting ways of presenting, because it gives you the benefits of both, the oral & the poster presentation, as it provides the opportunity to discuss your work in depth with others with similar interests,  without the pressure of time.

You may leave your poster in place after the end of the poster session, so it will be possible to keep discussing your work with colleagues during coffee breaks, even during the next day.

Helpers will be on hand before and during the poster session.

If you have any individual requirements for your poster presentation, e.g. because of a disability, please contact us in advance on info@dyslexiaworldcongress.org  or  ask the helper on the day.
