Conference End
We advise all presenters to look at the TIPS
FOR TALKS (290kB) presentation and read these guidelines
(34kB) before starting to prepare their talks. Science is in the
detail. It is the lifeblood of science to discuss.
All invited talks are 20 minutes (20-30 slides) to allow 10 minutes
discussion per talk.
All submitted talks are 10 minutes (10-15 slides) to allow 5 minutes
discussion per talk.
Chairpersons will cut people off who try to use this time for their
talks!
Please bring a copy of your talk on CD or USB stick to give to Presentation
Support, Sunday evening at Registration.Paper Submission
We invite all keynote speakers to submit a paper (either original
research report, original review*or original tutorial*) to the European
Cells & Materials (eCM) online 'Open & Free Access' journal.*NOTE:
We define a REVIEW PAPER as a paper which includes an extended literature
review and complete bibliography (including authors' own work),
and can also emphasise authors' new unpublished findings and in
an extended discussion puts the topic in proper perspective. A review
can also be based on a complete bibliography of an author's own
work over several years in relation to others. A TUTORIAL PAPER
contains an organised comprehensive review of all relevant published
material as for a teaching lecture.
