General Information on Active Participation

Based on the review proceedings, oral presentations will be classified into thematic fields, each of them will be chaired by 2 experts chosen by the Program Committee. For each presentation there will be 12 minutes (the exact timing will be specified in the email confirmation of the presentation position).

Poster presentations (doctors) will be divided into 2 sections – Sunday section (05/05) and Monday section (06/05). Each day the program committee will choose 5 posters best evaluated in the review proceedings and these posters will be moderated during the morning break of the day from 10,30 to 11,00 a.m. The evaluation committee will choose the best one out of the 5 moderated posters after the break. The Sunday and Monday winning posters will be announced and awarded on Monday, May 6, during the CSC Gala Evening.

Posters will be located within hall E, 1^st floor – the poster room – where panels (h 86 cm, w 156 cm) will be provided. Each poster has one panel. Installation is done using pins. We would like to ask all authors of chosen moderated posters to be present at their panel during the moderation time (morning break).

Installation of posters (doctors):
For Sunday poster section you can install posters on Saturday, 04/05 from 15.00 to 19.00 or on Sunday 05/05 from 7.30 to 9.00. Poster disassembly is planned for 05/05 from 17.30 to 17.45.

For Monday poster section you can install posters on Sunday 05/05 from 17.45 to 18.00 or on Monday 06/05 from 7.30 to 9.00. Poster disassembly is possible until 07/05 (the end of congress).

We would like to ask all poster authors to keep the times fixed for installation and disassembly. Otherwise, the organizers reserve the right to remove the poster. Unclaimed posters will be kept at the congress registration, then will be destroyed.

Nurses’ posters will be installed in the space outside the Morava room. Each poster will be allotted a panel (h 86 cm, w 156 cm – the same size as for doctors’ posters). The number of the panel corresponds to the number of the presentation in the (printed) program. Posters can be put up during Saturday or Sundary and have to be taken down on May 7, 12.30, when the congress finishes, at latest.  If the posters are not removed, they will be destroyed when the panels are disassembled. The authors need not be necessarily present at their posters for the whole congress time in the case of nurse posters.
