Presentation Timings

All parallel sessions will be 90 minutes long.

Paper

Dialogue

Each 90  Dialogue minute session  will begin with 3 to 5 panellists providing a five-minute commentary on that question (without slides). This will be followed by Q&A, discussion and debate from the floor and the session will end with a brief summing up from each of the panellists (10 mins total).

Student’ Short Pitches’

Student Short Pitches will last 3 minutes and should comprise 1 title slide and 1 presentation slide. This is a (slightly extended) version of the well-known ‘elevator pitch’, aiming to interest others in the problem you are addressing, the approach being taken (and the emerging results, for those nearing the end of their studies). Experienced academics will act as facilitators for the session and conference attendees will also be invited to attend and take part in group discussions afterwards. Students are welcome to bring posters or other materials to display in the room.

Students who are also submitting a paper should follow the same paper submission guidelines as other authors ( see above)  and submit their papers by August  31st.

Posters

Students who have been invited to present a poster should provide a poster in A1 Portrait format. The poster will be displayed throughout the conference and presenters will be required to be available at their poster at designated times during breaks.

Student members whose work has been accepted are eligible for subsidised registration fees to help you attend. Please see registration fees for more information or contact Sarah Jeffery    conference@biee.org   with any questions.
