Instructions for Oral Announcements
Each oral presentation should be up to 12 minutes long, followed by 3 minutes for questions. Please respect the presentation time to avoid delays in the conference program.
Presentations should be in .ppt, .pptx or .pdf file format. It is strongly suggested that the main presenting author of each oral presentation send the presentation file electronically to 18@hbs.gr by Wednesday, October 2, or hand it into the conference secretariat at registration on Wednesday, October 2. Timely delivery of the presentation file will help towards the better organization of the sessions.
Finally, please ensure that the file name is written in Roman characters and has the following format: Name_HBS18 (e.g., Papadopoulos_HBS18).
Instructions for Posters
Posters should have a maximum size of 84.1 x 118.9 cm and be vertically oriented (portrait). Posters should be fixed with reusable Blu Tack adhesive (available at the venue where the poster sessions will take place).
Two Poster Sessions will be held during the conference on October 3 and 5, respectively. Each author should post his/her poster in a numbered location on the morning of the day of the session to which his/her presentation belongs and ensure its removal from the poster area at the end of the same day.
Information on the inclusion of each paper in the Poster Sessions will be included in the final conference program, which will be announced shortly.
Payment for participation in the dinner and the conference excursion to Mount Olympus
Delegates who have registered for the conference dinner and the conference excursion to Mount Olympus and have not paid the corresponding amount should either deposit the money to the H.B.S. account at Piraeus Bank (IBAN: GR3301710090006009101656615) no later than September 30 or pay in cash during the registration of the conference on Wednesday October 2. In case of a bank deposit, please send the electronic deposit slip to the H.B.S. treasurer at ibazos@biol.uoa.gr.
The change in the time of payment for the participation mentioned above compared to what was announced on the website is due to the large number of registrations, which makes it necessary to pay in advance.
Please accept the bank charges for your transaction costs, if any.
Awards for oral and poster presentations
Three oral and three poster presentations will be awarded. Presentations by students (undergraduate or postgraduate) or doctoral candidates are eligible for an award unless the authors indicate that they do not wish to participate in the competition. The evaluation of the presentations will be carried out by an evaluation committee appointed by the Board of the Hellenic Botanical Society based on the scientific content and structure of the presentation.
The results will be announced on Saturday, during the conference's closing ceremony.
