General Information

The presentations for IEMS sessions should be designed for an audience with general scientific knowledge. Hence, the emphasis should be on the motivation, challenges and contributions and not on the methodology and specific techniques.

In order to prepare a good and motivating presentation, we strongly recommend the reading/visualization of the contents in the following links:

• Creating effective slides
• Glance test

Within IEMS, there are three types of sessions. Below, we provide specific instructions for each one.

Regular Sessions

The presentation should take 15 minutes, plus 5 minutes for questions, in a total of 20 minutes.

Elevator Pitches

The presentation should take at most 3 minutes and will be based on one slide with the elevator pitch that was submitted.

Round Tables

The discussion and debate should take 60 minutes in total.
