Plenary Oral
Plenary Oral presentations are intended to showcase key scientific findings and perspectives. Each presentation consists of a 12-minute talk followed by 8 minutes of discussion period. Presenters are expected to emphasize the novelty, broader relevance, and implications of their research, ensuring slides are concise and visuals are clear. Presentations should be comprehensible to an interdisciplinary audience, prioritizing results, insights, and future directions.
Presenters will be contacted by the chairs in order to secure a good discussion.

- Submission: pptx or pdf format, in English, by the deadline. LOC will provide the link to upload the submission 1-week prior to the assembly.
- Adherence to allotted time is mandatory; session chairs will strictly monitor.

Flash-Oral Presentation (one-minute oral flash presentation)
The format for the one-minute oral flash presentation involves a concise, tightly structured approach focused on highlighting research significance, objectives, and key outcomes. Forum Oral (1-min) presentation is more of an introductory presentation, so be creative and make your work memorable to the audience rather than delving into detail.
Presenters will always get time to interact with interested participants during the poster/video-interview session.
Presenters should be seated in the first line of the plenary room during their flash presentation session in order to minimize the time of the speaker change.
