All presenters are requested to bring their Power- Point presentation (Windows XP) on a CD-ROM or USB stick and to check in at the Audiovisual Center 3 hours prior to their presentation. Detailed information will be sent to the presenters on time. Electronic Posters One of the main benefits of an electronic poster exhibit is the post-congress availability of the ICRS 2009 electronic scientific exhibition in the member’s area. This database will be fully searchable by title, poster ID, authors, full text and image annotation. Information on how to use the electronic poster submission system will be sent to the authors of the accepted abstracts. An independent jury will judge the electronic posters by online grading with regard to scientific content, educational value and visual impression. Awards for the best electronic posters will be given during the ICRS Opening & Awards Ceremony on Saturday, May 23, 2009, at 16.30 hs. Traditional Posters In addition to the electronic posters which must be submitted mandatory, the authors have also the possibility to produce optionally a traditional paper poster for the poster walls. If your abstract is accepted as a poster, you must submit your electronic poster to the ICRS online poster submission system and you may bring with you a traditional poster for the poster exhibit. Submission of Abstracts Abstracts must be written according to the abstract submission instructions to be found on the ICRS abstract online submission system. Abstract length is limited to 250 words.
