Guidelines for Oral Presentations
- Oral presentations are 15-minute Ted-Style presentations intended to promote interdisciplinary research and spark discussions among symposium participants.
- These presentations are a way to present your current work to a general audience quickly. An essential benefit of giving a talk is the opportunity to get personalized, positive feedback as you meet people throughout the day and to find potential collaborators in other departments.
- Your talk should be understandable and exciting to the general academic audience.
