Short Presentation / Poster session : PhD researchers at the beginning of their research (1st -2nd year of PhD) are invited to make a presentation and exhibition of their work in the form of a poster (A0 size). Candidates for this session are required to submit a draft poster before the deadline and the consent of their Supervisor(s). Each presentation will be given 10 minutes ; 5’ for a concise presentation followed by 5’ of feed-back.

Long Presentation / Paper Session : PhD researcher at an advanced stage (3rd - 4th year of PhD) are invited to present a substantial part (case study, draft article or thesis chapter) of their research in the form of a full paper.
