Poster Teaser
All poster presenter will have the opportunity for short (max 2 min) teaser presentation. You can use 1 slide (pdf format), which needs to be submitted through the contribution management system ahead of the conference. The aim of a teaser presentation is to get people interested in coming to see your poster. Why is the result important? Is this poster interesting for me? It is NOT a mini presentation of the content.

Some general recommendations for oral presentations
- Make sure your present your research question and what you are doing before explaining how you do it.
- Best scientific presentations develop a narrative to tell a story and stress the main points.
- Avoid writing full sentences on slides: telegraphic style and keywords are preferable
- Use (and don't abuse) animations to synchronize your speech and what the audience sees on the slides
- Make sure eveyone can read the text and legends even when sitting at the back of the room
