After Session III - Agriculture under climate change, on Wednesday, 26 January, you will have the opportunity to show one slide to focus attention on the topic of your poster. All poster presenters are kindly invited to prepare and perform a poster flash presentation. Please let us know, by replying to this email no later than 19 January 2022, if you want a flash presentation.


Guidelines for preparing poster flash presentations

Poster flash presentations are meant to be a VERY SHORT (3 minute MAX, 1 slide ONLY) presentation of posters. The author should focus only on the main aim of the research and only mention the key findings. The purpose of the flash talk is to stimulate the audience to view the poster and to discuss the research with the author.
ONLY HIGHLIGHT THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF YOUR WORK. More detailed information can be provided orally during the poster session. The Poster flash talk should stimulate people to visit your poster

A few guidelines to keep in mind when preparing your talk:
1. Slide should be prepared in PowerPoint (pptx format), in widescreen size (16:9).
2. Slide must be in English, since it is the official language of the Symposium.
3. Send slide both in PowerPoint and pdf formats to [email protected] no later than 19 January 2022.

Prepare your slide (only ONE slide allowed!) to communicate key findings, not details. If attendees want details, let them ask you directly during poster viewing breaks. ‘Questions and Answers’ time right after the poster flash talk will not be provided.

At the symposium:
You have 3 minutes to present your work. The chairpersons are instructed to require all speakers to adhere to this limit. Do not use more than 1 slide!
Do not spend time to acknowledge all co-workers, institutes etc. This information is shown on your poster. Focus on your message to attract people to view your poster during the breaks or poster socials.
If for some reason you cannot give your presentation by yourself, please arrange a surrogate (co-author) to present your work and inform the Organizing Committee as soon as possible.
