Presentation types


Oral presentations (except the plenary lectures) are 15 minutes talk plus 5 minutes for questions and discussion.

Posters will be presented during the dedicated Poster Session. Poster boards will be in place throughout the conference and you are encouraged to leave the posters in place for the whole duration.

The size of the posterboards is 118 x 146 cm (A0 portrait). Poster A1 landscape is possible.

Symposia will be scheduled at suitable times in the programme. Symposia provide the opportunity for a focused session on a key area of research interest in human ethology. Format for symposia is flexible and proposals to be considered by the Program Committee should give details of the proposed topic and format, including Chairperson, proposed speakers (who should have confirmed they are willing to participate), and a proposed schedule (e.g. time allocated to individual talks, whether there will be discussions, panel sessions etc.). As an example, your symposium might have one chair with a 10 min introduction, then four speakers who each have a 20 min slot, and an additional 20 mins scheduled for a panel discussion. Symposia should normally last between one and two hours. Note that for symposia proposals, the proposed Chairperson should submit a proposal for the symposium (i.e. an overview of the entire symposium). Individual speakers who will take part in the symposium should also submit their own abstracts individually.
