Presenters (i.e., first authors) must be registered and have paid the congress registration fee by 9 May 2025 to guarantee publication of their abstract in the eBook of Abstracts and the scientific programme. Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent on 1 April 2025. Missing the payment deadline for presenting authors will lead to an exclusion of the abstract in the eBook of Abstracts and from the scientific programme.
Authors are free to choose between Oral Presentation, Conventional Print Poster Presentation, or E-poster as a preferred format during the abstract submission process. The final decision about the presentation format lies with the ECSS Scientific Board and is also due to the settings of the scientific programme.
Oral Presentation
Oral presentations include a 10-minute PowerPoint (16:9) presentation followed by 5 minutes of discussion. The use of your own laptop or USB stick is not permitted. Embedded videos are not permitted in the presentation, only external links.
Oral presentations must be pre-uploaded either via your ECSS account or in the Speakers Ready Room one day before your presentation at the latest. The online upload starts on 20 May and the requirement is a .ppt or .pptx file with a maximum size of 10MB.
Conventional Print Poster Presentation (debated)
Conventional print posters are in A0 (height: 120cm (47,3in), width: 90cm (35,5in)) size and portrait (vertical) format. Its presentation time is 3 minutes followed by 2 minutes of discussion. Poster presentations do not require a PowerPoint presentation. As a presenter of a conventional print poster, you need to place your poster on the designated poster board in the morning of the presentation and remove it directly after the poster session ended. A pre-upload is NOT required. Poster patches will be provided on site.
E-poster (not debated)
E-posters require the size 140cm (55in) width x 79cm (31in) height in landscape (horizontal) format. The E-poster must be pre-uploaded in PDF format (one slide only) until 24 June 2025 via your ECSS account. The online upload starts on 20 May. Abstracts accepted in this format will be published in the eBook of Abstracts of the Annual Congress. In addition, the E-poster will be made available online and on-screen. The E-posters can be accessed at any time during the congress, using widescreen TVs located in the E-poster area. There is, therefore, no formal presentation time and no formalised discussion time. If discussion is required, presenters will be contacted directly (by email) by interested parties.
