Guidelines for oral presentations

In order to provide an experience as close as possible to an in-person scientific conference, the steering group of the WCRP-WWRP Symposium on Data Assimilation and Reanalysis has decided to use Gather.town as the main platform for the joint meeting with the ECMWF Annual Seminar. From Gather.town you can access the oral sessions and poster sessions and Gather.town will also be used for the ice breaker and coffee breaks, so please familiarise yourself with the platform before the event. Guidelines to use Gather.town are available here.

• During the sessions, presenters will share their screen to show their slides. In case of technical issues, the session chairs can show theslides on their screen as a backup. Therefore, we would like to ask presenters to also upload their presentation in PDF format at least on the day prior to the talk. Details on how to upload the presentations will follow in the week prior to the symposium
• The oral slots will be 15 minutes consisting of 12 minutes for the presentation and 3 minutes for discussion. If you use all 15 minutes for your presentation, the discussion will be skipped.
• We suggest to use a 16:9 or 16:10 ratio for the presentation as this better fits the majority of screens.
