Presentation Guidelines
By sending us your material, you agree with its publication within the scope of the ETS 2020 virtual conference.
All presenters are expected to be available and to be committed to promptly answer questions in the Participants Forum during the symposium dates May 25 – June 31, 2020.
Please follow the best practices for audio-visual presentations: a clear focus on the research contributions; readability of visualizations and text; speaker’s and conference name in the footer; use slide numbers; logos allowed on the title slide only.
