Instructions for presentations

Final Acceptance

All authors will be notified about final acceptance and type of presentation by August 30, 2024. The Workshop Committee reserves the right to finally reject full papers of poor language or poor technical content as well as papers that would not correspond to the abstract. A plagiarism check will also be made by the publisher and could lead to rejection. 

A limited number of papers are chosen for oral presentation, while most papers at CIRED are typically presented as posters. The highly successful CIRED poster sessions offer a unique platform to showcase your work. By presenting an overview of your paper during a poster session, you have the opportunity to engage directly with individuals, allowing for more in-depth discussions than would be possible in a traditional auditorium setting.

We remind you that the participation and registration of the main author or one of the co-authors in the workshop is mandatory to present and publish the paper (maximum one paper presented by registered author). Authors are expected to be registered by September 27. If you want to cancel your presentation (oral or poster), please inform the organizers as soon as possible. 

Registrations are available through the ConfTool platform.

Poster Presentation

If you have been selected to present your paper as poster, you are expected to showcase your work during your theme’s poster session:

  • Poster session 1 focusing on topic 2: on November 7, 3.55 – 5.55 pm
  • Poster session 2 focusing on topics 1 & 3: on November 8, 10.50 am – 12.20 pm
 

Both poster sessions will be held in Room Chicago 6 (level 4). 

You must bring your printed poster with you in Chicago. If you prefer, we also propose the solution of having it printed by the local FedEx office of the workshop venue and pick it up upon arrival at the hotel (by your own means and at your charge).

Please use one of the mandatory poster templates (posters are vertical): in format A0 or format XL. The poster boards can welcome A0 or XL (3X4 feet) vertical. 

You may come to set up your poster at anytime before the poster session on the day of your session. Material to hang your poster on your dedicated panel will be provided. 
Don’t forget to remove it at the end of your poster session, otherwise the organizing team will have to handle it and throw it away to prepare the next session. 

Oral Presentation

If you have been invited to present your paper in an oral session, you are expected to showcase your work during your theme’s oral session:

  • Theme 1 Oral Session is scheduled on Thursday November 7, 2.25 pm – 3.55 pm
  • Theme 2 Oral Session is scheduled on Friday November 8, 8.50 am – 10.20 am
