Preparing and submitting a recorded video presentation

The presenters are asked to make and send a video recording of the presentation, both visual and audio (if possible, the presenter should be visible in the recording, e.g. the upper right-hand corner). Indicate file name as the last name of the main author and the word “Presentation” (e.g. JURIC_Presentation.mp4). The recording will be played during the conference, and published afterwards on this website, where it will be available to the public.
In addition to the recording, the authors also have to send a transcript of the oral presentation for the purpose of subtitling. Name the file in the following way: the last name of the main author and the word “Transcript” (e.g. JURIC_Transcript.doc).
The materials should be sent by e-mail to: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Advice for PowerPoint presentation design
- For a 15-minute presentation, try not to exceed 30 slides;
- Use one slide for each idea or point;
- The presentation should be visually appealing and easy to follow – do not overwrite or use too many images, do not use an excessively large font or more than two font styles;
- Heading font should be bigger than text font;
- Be consistent with text formatting;
- Choose an appropriate background and font colours;
- Bright colours should be used moderately.
