Types of contributions

Several types of contributions are possible:

LONG PRESENTATIONS

Long presentations include a summary, an article and a 30 minute presentation followed by 10 minutes of questions.

SHORT PRÉSENTATIONS

Short presentations include a summary, an article and a 15 minute presentation followed by 5 minutes of questions.

POSTERS

The posters are full-fledged presentations, only the modalities of exchange with the audience remain different (the presentations deliver information to an assembly, the poster crystallises exchanges around a support). The background is as exciting and requires a comparable investment from the authors. For this, the posters must be accompanied by an article in the same way as the presentations.

The posters include the poster itself, a summary and an article and will be presented during the various poster sessions included in the program of the conference.

ROUND TABLES

Round tables, lasting one hour, involve several speakers who exchange their points of view on a given theme. The round table is followed by 30 minutes of questions. The content of the debates (problematic, points of view, convergences, divergences, distribution of the various speakers, etc.) will be specified in the text of the proposal. The mode of animation of the round table, the names of the speakers and the facilitator as well as the organization envisaged will also necessarily be specified. The round tables selected will be accompanied by a summary  to be published in the conference program.

LIGHTNING TALKS

Lightning talks (LT) are presentations of a few minutes, without questions. Dedicated sessions will be offered during the JRES. Submissions will be made during the JRES *, the modalities will be specified later. LTs are accompanied by at least one slide presenting the speaker and the subject, no article is associated with it.

* This year, there will be two LT sessions, the first will be held on the second day of the congress.

BIRDS OF A FEATHER
