Oral session

Registered participants are allowed to present their paper in any (one or more) of the cities joining the BRAU Biennial. Presentations shall be about 15-20 minutes long, in local language or in english.

Paper specifications

Papers shall be written in local language or (preferably) in english, be maximum 50,000 characters long (about 10 pages, depending of number and size of figures and tables) and shall contain the following elements:

  • full name, affiliation and (optionally) email of all authors
  • an “Abstract” section with maximum 400 words
  • a section title just after the “Abstract” section
  • if present, the “Acknowledgements” section shall be placed after the “Conclusions” section and before the “Bibliography” section

Figures and tables shall be sent in their native formats (JPG, PNG, TIF, XLS, etc.) as independent files. Use SHORT file names (max 8 characters). Do NOT use file name to describe figure; figure descriptions must be placed within the text, in the position where the figure is meant to appear.

Please write your paper using Markdown. Markdown is a very easy syntax that allows you to format a document writing it as plain text. With Markdown you can write a document without thinking about unnecessary details and distracting choices (such as margins and distances, font sizes and styles, which tools like Word compel you to do), so you can stay focused on the contents of your document and write it faster. Feel free to contact us for assistance on using Markdown.

If you can not do without using Word or similar tools, unfortunately we are forced to ask you to pay a small additional amount of €20 to help covering the costs of composition and layout. In such case please add the amount to your registration fee in order to make a single payment.

Registered participants are allowed to install their posters in any of the cities (one or more) joining the BRAU Biennial. Participants can install their posters in person, or alternatively send the posters to Local Coordinator, or ask the Local Coordinator to print the posters (upon payment). In the cities in which the paying participant does not install the posters , her/his posters will be presented to the public through slide shows by means of projectors and LCD displays.
