Tentative Guidelines for Presentation Types

Posters will be presented during the dedicated Poster Session. Posters can present either research findings or project proposals. Posters should be in A0 vertical (portrait) format: 84.1 cm wide × 118.9 cm high (approx. 33.1 in × 46.8 in).

Oral presentations will be 15 minutes talk including discussion.

Use of images: If you include images that are not your own (e.g., from publications, websites, or other sources), you should clearly mention the copyright holder or original author on the slide or poster.

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.
