Conference format

The EuroEAP conference has a unique format to facilitate and maximise interaction among participants and includes:

• Keynote lectures: invited lectures (30 mins) often addressing either a broad or in-depth topic of EAPs or a broad inspirational talk addressing an area related to EAP research or where EAPs might play a future role.
• Invited lectures: (20 mins),given by world-leading scientists, young emerging researchers, as well as representatives of industry, presenting the latest advances in EAPs.
• Interactive talks: short oral presentations (max 3 min) offered to all attendeesdescribing the key aspects of the work, followed by a mandatory poster presentation. Exhibitions of a prototype/product are optionally possible during the poster session.The presentation slides and poster formats will have to be prepared according to special templates: see the section ‘Templates’.  All prototypes and products can be shown during the whole event by any attendee, at no cost.

The oral sessions are intertwined by extensive poster sessions that facilitate discussions among participants in a friendly atmosphere.

Discussions and networking continue also during the organised lunch and dinner on each day, Costs for all activities are fully included in the registration fee, which is maintained competitively low by the non-profit approach taken in organising this unique event.

Registration

Any kind of attendee (invited or not, presenter or not) should register.
For the list of registration fees, the deadline for early registration and the instructions about registration, see ‘How to contribute and/or attend’.
Attendees are invited to pay attention that after the deadline for early registration the fee will increase by € 100.00.

Abstracts & maximum number of contributions

Each registered attendee is entitled to present up to two contributions.
Participants should submit each contribution in the form of an Interactive talk, namely a short oral presentation followed by a poster.

Invited speakers are expected to give only an oral presentation (although they might optionally present also an additional contribution in the form of an Interactive talk like anyone else).

Any contribution (invited or not) requires the submission of an abstract, having a maximum length of 1500 characters. For instructions and deadline about abstract submission, see ‘How to contribute and/or attend’.

Notes:
Each contribution should be associated to only one registered attendee.
Any contribution not associated to a registration will be excluded from the final programme and conference proceedings.

Computers for presentations

 All presenters are invited to use for their presentations the conference PC. Thus, they are invited to upload the presentations via memory sticks before the session start.

Alternatively, usage of personal laptops is allowed, but it is mandatory to check compatibility with the projection system, before the session start.
During poster sessions, the conference PC will be available for rehearsal / compatibility test of slides.

• For invited presentations:
  a PDF file of a 1-page-long extended abstract of the presentation.
