Guidelines for Presentations

For Oral Presentations For Poster Presentations

Each presentation will last 25 minutes.
Aim to describe the topic of the work and the main results in a clear and accessible way, avoiding excessive detail and overly technical points.

The lectures should include:

  • identification of authors and advisors
  • Description and motivation of the topic
  • presentation of the main results
  • Conclusion and future objectives

Both overhead projectors and data projectors will be available. If you intend to use one of them, allow for between 15 and 25 transparencies.

Give the audience time to read them!

Important: never use font sizes smaller than 20.
Use colors judiciously!

Poster presentations should have the following characteristics:

The available area will be 1m by 1m.
The title, author(s), and advisor(s) should be indicated at the top.

Font size:

  • Title: Size 70 (1.5cm tall)
  • Authors and advisors: size 50 (1cm high)
  • Text: size 28 (0.7cm high).

Aim for a good balance between text and illustrations: illustrations should occupy a larger area.

Authors should be near the poster during presentation times and should prepare a concise oral presentation (2 to 3 minutes) of their work.

Accommodation

IMPA has a list of suggested hotels for the Scientific Initiation Conference. We hope this list will help you find accommodation in Rio de Janeiro during the event.
