  • Verification of proper performance of the presentation in the lecture hall at the presentation laptop is highly recommended, particularly if video or animation is included in the presentation.

Presentation material submission

  • Please bring your presentation files on a USB drive one day before your presentation to avoid congestion. Presenters of the first day should hand over their files to the technician as soon as they arrive.
