Information for Students Making Oral Presentations

Powerpoint is the standard software for presentations.

Oral presentations are 15 minutes each with 5 additional minutes for faculty and student questions.

We plan to distribute a CD containing each student’s Powerpoint Presentation at the beginning of the meeting. In order for you to have your presentation included, it must be emailed to us NO LATER THAN FRIDAY, JUNE 9th. We need this time in order to produce the CDs. We will not be able to accommodate late submissions, and we very much would like to include all presentations in the CD.

Please email your presentation to Samuel Niza with “Graduate consortium presentation” as the subject line of the email. Please name your Powerpoint file as follows: lastname_institution.ppt

IN SHORT:
  • Email your presentation to Samuel Niza < samuel.niza@dem.ist.utl.pt> by June 9th
  • Write “Graduate consortium presentation” as the subject line of the email.
  • Name your Powerpoint file as follows: "lastname_institution.ppt" (e.g. smith_IST.ppt or silva_MIT.ppt)

Information for Students Presenting Posters

  • Your poster should be approximately 70cm (width) x 120cm (length), around 27" x 47" (if you need more space let us know). If you are transporting your poster, do not fold it.
  • Your poster must include a headline strip that runs the full width of the poster. Include the title, authors, and affiliations on the strip. Title should be written in letters not less than 2.5cm (1") high.
  • Post the abstract after the headline strip (in the upper left-hand corner if your poster has two columns).
  • You may bring small 1-sheet copies of your poster, A4 format (21cm x 29.7cm or 8.2” x 11.6”), to hand out to interested consortium members.
  • We will provide pushpins to use to mount your poster on the board.
