- Laptop and projector will be provided in every session room.
- In case you will need laptop sound please inform the technician staff in the session room before your session starts.
- Please prepare your presentation in MS Power Point.

Information for session chairs
Please make sure to arrive at the room where the session takes place at least 20 minutes in advance. This will allow you to meet the sessions speakers and to see whether there are any problems with installing their presentations. If you present a talk within the session please ask another presenter to act as chair for your talk.
Your main tasks will be
- To start the session on time
- To very briefly introduce each talk
- To make sure that the speaker will finish her/his talk within the time available. To ensure this, please give the speaker a countdown (e.g., indicating 5 min to end, 2 min to end, finish) and stop her/him if necessary.
- To moderate the discussion after each talk.
- To end the session on time
