The authors of all accepted abstracts will present their work orally and are expected to attend the meeting in person. The abstract will be attributed to different sessions by the Organizing Committee of the congress as such.
The time slot for classical oral presentation is 10 minutes (8-minute presentation and 2-minute discussion).
The short oral presentation is designated to stimulate the discussion on posters. Each speaker will present the essence of his work in 3-minute presentation, followed by 2-minute discussion. The abstracts selected for this session will be also presented as classical printed-out posters. The poster format is DIN A0 (120cm x 85cm) (height x width). The best poster will be awarded with a dedicated prize.
Selected case reports will be presented in the “elevator pitch” format, an innovative, dynamic presentation format aiming at the active interaction with the public. The first part of all authors will have 1 minute to present 1 slide to convince the jury (= audience) of the quality of their work, in order to be selected for the second part and the presentation of additional 5-minute presentation (+ 2min-discussion).
Pecha-Kucha storytelling format (YSN best oral presentation)
Selected abstracts for the YSN Best Oral Presentation will be presented in the innovative Pecha-Kucha storytelling format. The presentation consists of 20 slides (exactly 20) and each slide must be shown for 20 seconds. The slides will be shown on auto-advancing mode, i.e. the presenter cannot determine the timing of the slide progression and it is not allowed to introduce additional animation within the slide. Presenting in the Pecha Kucha style is a challenge: a strong presentation is well planned, organized and edited. If you are not familiar with this presentation style, we recommend you to get additional information (more about this format: www.pechakucha.com/about).
The best presentations will be awarded with a dedicated prize. The prizes will be awarded at the aperitif before the networking dinner on 05.12.2024 from approx. 19.00 hrs. The presence of the winners is desired.
The authors will be notified in advance about the format of their presentation by the organizing committee. They will receive information on the specific format for an optimal preparation of their presentation. Please, note that only digital material will be allowed for presentation (please, use an USB stick). A speaker center will be at disposal to upload your presentation.
All oral and poster presentations must be given in English.
If you wish to withdraw your abstract or if you are unable to attend the meeting immediately inform the SSN Congress Office.

After submission deadline, withdrawal requests will be accepted on a case-by-case basis, but the abstract may still appear in meeting publications.
