minutes; each Discussant should take no more than 10 minutes; any remaining
time should be devoted to questions from the audience.
Session Chairs: Assume overall responsibility for your session. Make an effort to contact the session participants before the meeting. Inform them that each presentation room will be equipped with an overhead projector and flipchart. Ask them if they have any special needs relating to their presentation and/or discussion and, in collaboration with the registration desk, try to satisfy those needs. Arrive at the session room 10 minutes in advance and make sure that it is properly equipped. Welcome and introduce the participants. Start the session on time and adhere to the time schedule. Discussants should follow presenters. Moderate the open discussion to the best of your ability.
Presenters:
Stay within the allotted time of 20 minutes even though it may not be enough!
Be well prepared. Please do not just read your paper. Your presentation of main
points, methods, and conclusions should lead to a fruitful discussion during
and after the session. Bring with you and make available ten or more
copies of your manuscript. Every presentation room will be equipped with
overhead projectors, screens and flipcharts. For Power Point presentations,
please feel free to bring your own equipment and all necessary cables and
transformers required by standards in
Discussants:
Be prepared to offer your "positive" remarks first. Then offer any
"negative" remarks in a constructive way. Stay within the allotted
time of 10 minutes. If you cannot meet your commitment, please make an effort
to find a substitute discussant, and contact the registration desk as well as
the session chair immediately. Please contribute as much as you can to the
discussion of all papers. If the session's chair is absent, the last
discussant listed should take on the role of the chair.
