Individual Papers
Each abstract accepted for individual presentation will be allocated 25 minutes for presentation and discussion. Generally, we recommend that you plan for a maximum of 15 minutes speaking, and at least 10 minutes for questions so that you can benefit from interaction with and feedback from the audience on your topic.

Poster Sessions
Posters provide an opportunity to engage your audience in discussion and invite feedback using a visual format and should not be regarded as a less important presentation format to any others. In particular they enable newer researchers to present ongoing research to an international audience especially pilot studies, preliminary results or information on new projects. Poster displays will also be featured in the Newer Researchers Conference programme and will be allocated sufficient time in the Conference programme for participants to engage in dialogue and informal exchange. Posters will be on show in a specific location throughout the Newer Researchers Conference. For those who wish to engage a wider audience, poster presenters at the Newer Researchers conference will be able to display their work at the Annual Research Conference from the 14-16 December, providing they book as delegates at the this conference. Posters will be prominently displayed to attract the widest attention.

Posters will be displayed on 6 foot by 4 foot poster board. We recommend that poster presenters look at the guidelines set out at

Symposia
A symposium consists of the presentation of three or four related papers on a single theme, presented within a 75 minute session and led by a Symposium Convenor. In making a proposal for a symposium, the following should be provided:

• A clear symposium title;

• The Convenor’s institution;
• A 400 word overview of the symposium submitted by the convenor;
• A separate abstract for each presentation, including the names and details of all participating presenters. These may be submitted by the chair, or submitted by individual presenters using the online submission system.
