Presentations


Talks

Duration of each contributed talk is "17+3", i.e. 17 minutes for the talk and 3 minutes for questions and discussion. The invited talks are 45+15, and three review talks 25+5.

There is a data projector available and a PC computer with the basic PDF and PowerPoint viewers installed. We highly encourage presenters to use the laptop provided and bring their presentation in a PDF file on a USB stick (and test the system during the previous coffee break at the latest). It is possible to use one's own computer, but because setting it up reduces the time given for the presentation itself, we encourage presenters to use the provided computer unless they are certain they know what they are doing.


Posters

The posters are mounted on the wall of the meeting room using magnets (available on site) and they can stay visible during the whole meeting. The authors themselves take care of mounting and dismounting; the proper place for each poster is indicated in the room. The size should not exceed the size A0 (portrait).

At the poster session each presenter should give a short (2 minute) presentation ideally with a single pdf/ppt slide, summarising the main point of their poster. This should not be interpreted as "explain my poster in 120 seconds", but seen as an excercise in capturing the essence of the research in the poster and explaining that in a clear and concise way. The details are in the poster so leave those out — instead, get people wanting to read them and your poster.

Transit of Venus

To celebrate the Astronomers' Days the L.O.C. organises a transit of Venus over the disk of the Sun before breakfast on Wednesday 6.6. If you haven't seen the transit of Venus before, this is likely to be your last chance of seeing it — the next transit will occur in 2117.

There will be at least a medium-sized Dobson telescope available for observations, but do consider bringing better equipment if you can.

Details will be available later and weather forecasts, announced during the meeting, will determine the final course of action.
