Declaration of Interest
|
The Congress Programme Committee requests speakers, abstract presenters, judges and chairpersons to disclose potential conflict of interests regarding the topics of the presentations during the introduction of the session for chairpersons or on the first slide of the presentation for speakers. This will allow the audience to take potential conflicts of interest into account when assessing the objectivity of the presentation. A potential conflict of interest may arise from various relationships, past or present, such as employment, consultancy, investments and stock ownership, funding for research, family relationship, etc.

Chairperson guidelines
Chairpersons should ensure the smooth progress of the session, time management as well as encourage discussions and interactions between faculty members and the audience by allowing sufficient time for questions from the audience. We recommend to all chairpersons to liaise with the speakers presenting in their session as early as possible preferably prior to the congress. In order to contact the speakers involved in your session contact the scientific progamme department who will put you in contact with the team involved in your session.

The title should be emphasized by the use of bold-face type. When displayed the letters used should not be smaller than 15mm.
The subtitle should be printed in the same kind of lettering, but semi-bold and not less than 10mm high when displayed.
This guarantees clear reading even from a distance of 2-3 meters.
The text should be broken up by the inclusion of drawings and/or photos.
The use of colour makes the poster more attractive and effective.
Material for mounting your poster to the poster board will be supplied by the organizers. Please refer to the ESC staff in the poster area for further assistance.
