TYPES OF PRESENTATIONS

Conferences (12 minutes)

• 12 minutes (including questions)
• Only one conference per GRIL laboratory will be scheduled, preferably given by a student. It is up to the primary researcher to determine the content of the presentation (summary of the work of his or her laboratory or that of the presenting student).
• If there are too many requests for oral presentations, priority will be given to labs that did not present at our last Symposium in 2019 at Jouvence.
• Confirmations for accepted talks will be sent on May 14, 2021.
• We ask that speakers record their presentation in advance to avoid connection issues. The videos will be played to audience online according to the schedule. Individuals must be available online at the time of their presentation to answer questions.

Recording Procedure:

• Step 1 - Record your presentation with narration and timing (via PowerPoint* (choose version), Keynote*, Prezi, video animation, etc.).
  *For those who choose to use PowerPoint or Keynote, here's how to convert the narrated slide to video format: PowerPoint (choose the version) or Keynote.
• Step 2 - Email the video file to Marie-Andrée Fallu before June 2, 2021 using the online sharing tool of your choice (Dropbox, Google Drive, WeTransfer, etc.).
