INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRESENTATIONS (NEW)

When doing your presentations please adhere to the following instructions:

- The time slots for the presentations will consist of 20 minutes: 15 for the presentation + 3 for questions + 2 for switching rooms

- We recommend about 1 slide per minute (approx.). Make slides readable, with introduction, developments and conclusions. Include the main mathematical equations but leave the deep technicities for the paper.  

- All presentations must be of a scientific nature. No company introduction or advertising is allowed. 

- Power Point 2016 will be available on the session computers. Either use this version or bring your presentation in pdf format to avoid incompatibilities. Use the 4:3 size for the slides.

- The format is free; there is no NOVEM2018 template for the presentations. 

- Check the time of your presentation on the Scientific Program / Timetable of this website.  

- 10 min before the start of your session please go to the corresponding room and upload your presentation on the room laptop. It is not allowed to use your own laptop for presenting.

Special issue for best papers:

The Organizing Committee will evaluate the best papers close to the Forum topics to be included in a Special Issue of "Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science" edited by SAGE.
Papers related to the aerospace field will be considered as well to be included in a Special Issue of "Advances in Aircraft and Spacecraft Science" edited by Technopress.
The evaluation will be made following the final paper submission. The delegates will be informed about these two opportunities during the congress.
