Form of contributions and
Technical instructions
All contributions are registered electronically providing a short abstract (1500 letters or less, incl. blanks). An abstract booklet will be provided in printed and electronic form. The abstracts will be published on the workshop website.
Oral Presentations
Talks should not be longer than 12 minutes to leave some time for questions. The time slot for oral presentations is 15 minutes (12 minutes presentation + 3 minutes discussion).
In the lecture hall there is a projection unit. As presentation software Adobe Reader 9, Microsoft Power Point 2007 and OpenOffice Presenter 3.4 are provided.
Poster Presentations
There will be a poster exhibition during the workshop and a poster session to meet the authors at the poster as well as a "poster flash" in the lecture hall (1 minute per poster).
Poster exhibition: Best poster format is DIN A0 Portrait. There will be the poster number on each board. Poster pins are provided.
Poster flash and poster session: The poster session will take place in the afternoon. Right before there is a poster flash in the lecture hall, where you have one minute and one slide to present your poster. You may use the template file given here. The intention of the poster flash is to give a quick overview to the audience, which posters might be interesting for them. Thus please only present the topic of your poster and explain the details in the poster session!
The presentation file must be submitted on-line (Login + Password from the registration mail). Deadline for submission of presentation files is Thursday 7:00 in the morning. Only pdf-files will be accepted. You should indicate the poster number on your slide. All submitted pdf-files of the poster of a symposium will get merged into on large pdf-file by the conference office. A missing file will imply that you do not want to give a poster presentation.
Live-Demonstrations and Experiment Visits
As an alternative to the formats of talks and posters researchers are invited to show their “work in progress” – this may be a live demonstration of your analyzes in the laptop or a visit to your experiments in the laboratory, greenhouse or experimental fields at the UBT campus.
Live-demos and visits submitted in this category will take place in the breaks or in an extra time block, depending on their number and nature: For experiment visits please indicate the minimum time needed. For live demos at the venue please tell us if any infrastructure besides a table is needed (electricity, …).
