Short talks
PhD students who would like to present their work at the conference can choose to either give a 10-minute talk or present a poster during the abstract submission process. If you wish to give a talk, please select “Talk or Short presentation” during the registration process. Depending on the number of participants, you may be selected to present a 3-minute talk instead (without slides). In addition to the talk, you are always required to present a poster.
If you are selected for a talk, you will be contacted about a week after registration closes, around the end of March. At that time, you will be informed if you have been selected to give a short talk or an elevator pitch.
The talk: Your presentation must be in English, and you will have 10 minutes to present followed by 5 minutes for audience questions. You are allowed to use a PowerPoint presentation, and we will ask you to send us your slides before the conference.
The short presentation: Also in English, and should be a 3-minute presentation of your thesis, similar to “Ma Thèse en 180 secondes” without slides. The audience will have a few minutes to ask questions afterward.
