Abstracts
& Posters
The book of
abstracts of oral presentations is now available for download by all those
that are registered for gk2010 - who should have already received a username
and password. The book of abstracts may be accessed via this
link.
Poster Sessions
The
poster boards will be 100 cm wide and 200 cm high (extending from the
ground). Suitable standard formats are A0 (A-series sizes) and E4 (US-legal
sizes) having dimensions about 90 cm by 120 cm. The poster boards will be
arranged so that the maximum viewing distance will be about 2 m. Posters for
the Monday-evening session may be put up during the afternoon coffee/tea
break and may remain in place until Tuesday lunchtime. Posters for the
Wednesday-evening session may be put up during the afternoon coffee/tea
break on Wednesday and remain in place until Thursday lunchtime.
It
may be useful for poster presenters to have a notepad at hand to further
elaborate on their work and also some A4 (or equivalent) printouts of their
poster.
Information
for presenting authors
For
the available audio/visual equipment of the symposium venue, please refer to
the Venue
page under 'sessions'.
Each
scientific session will be chaired. It is the chair's responsibility to
introduce the talks, to ensure that each session runs to time, and to guide
questions from the audience. Besides invited talks, all talks are allocated
a time slot of 20 minutes. In practice, this should translate into a
presentation duration of 13 to 14 minutes when taking into account
setting-up time plus around 5 minutes, on average, for questions. Since,
this year, abstracts of talks will be available to delegates before the
beginning of the symposium via this web site, we expect more audience
participation than usual following presentations, and we ask, therefore, all
presenters to reserve adequate time to answer questions.
Presenters
should ensure that their presentation is loaded onto one of the symposium's
presentation computers or that their own laptop computer's connection to the
audio/visual apparatus has been tested prior to the start of their session.
This is best done during one of the pauses for refreshments or lunch and
preferably not during the pause immediately before the session in case of
unexpected problems. Presenters of the first morning session may load their
presentations or test them in the auditorium on the day before, or in the
morning of the session from 8.30 am until 8.50 am.
The symposium's presentation
computers will run Microsoft Windows(XP and/or 7) and Open SUSE
Linux 11.2 operating systems. Presentations on these computers should be
compatible with Microsoft PowerPointTM (2003) running
under Windows or Openoffice.org 3.11 running under Linux.
Presenters should check for compatibility beforehand with the local
organisers if they need to run non-standard applications from the
symposium's computers.
For
those presenters not using their own laptop computer, please bring your
presentation on USB stick, or CD-ROM. Ensure also that you have access to a
back-up copy of your presentation (e.g., on your email account that you can
access from the symposium).
We
appreciate that considerable time and effort goes into putting together
presentations and that their distribution and use should be entirely under
the control of their creators. The local organisers ensure, therefore, that,
in order to prevent any chance of unauthorised or inadvertent use or
distribution, all presentations loaded onto the symposium's presentation
computers will be permanently deleted immediately following the symposium.
Submission
of Abstracts (for Posters only)
All abstracts
should be submitted as attachments by email to the following address
(preferably having "Abstracts" in the subject line) :
info@gk2010.be.
The
abstracts, which must be written in English, should be no more than one page
(A4 format), including diagrams (which should be in TIFF or JPG format) and
references. Documents should be submitted in Microsoft® Word
(2003) format. If you use Microsoft® Word 2007 please back-save
the document to "doc" format and not "docx". For stand-alone formulas,
please use Microsoft® Equation Editor 3 or MathType®.
Please refer to
this document for the specific format instructions. Corresponding
authors (i.e., presenting authors) will be informed by email of the decision
of the review by the scientific committee within 10 days of submission.
Please refer to our
privacy policy.
Other Important
Information
●
Submitting authors should receive an acknowledgment within four days if
their submitted abstract has reached the local organisers. If no
communication from the local organisers is received within this time, assume
the manuscript was not received by GK2010.
In such a case, please contact GK2010
and await further instructions.
●
An accepted abstract will
not be edited by GK2010.
It may, however, undergo some slight formatting before being printed. Please
ensure, therefore, that the submitted manuscript is accurate and error-free.
●A
manuscript considered to be written in poor English may be rejected by the
scientific committee. If such a manuscript is not rejected, the authors will
be requested to make the appropriate changes before the abstract is
reconsidered. Under these circumstances, an abstract must be resubmitted
within 5 days.
●The
presenting author agrees that he or she has permission from all co-authors
to submit the manuscript to GK2010
within the policy set out on this page.
●The
authors agree that the manuscript, if selected, will be printed in the book
of abstracts for GK2010
and be able to be accessed electronically from the GK2010
website by registered participants from
Monday 5 July 2010 until
the end of the symposium. Extended abstracts for the special session on
Tropospheric Ozone Chemistry will be distributed electronically to delegates
from Monday 28 June.
●Only
one-page abstracts will be accepted.
●Once
an abstract is submitted, no changes can be made. An abstract may be
withdrawn, however, and another resubmitted provided that; (a) the
presenting author sends an email to
info@gk2010.be
requesting that the manuscript be withdrawn ("withdraw" should appear in the
subject line); (b) essentially the same work is not submitted before an
acknowledgement of the withdrawal of the previously submitted manuscript has
been received by the presenting author.
●It
is the responsibility of the presenting author to relay any communications
from the local organisers or scientific committee to all co-authors
concerning the submitted manuscript.
●The
presenting author should inform the local organisers in good time if he or
she is not able to make the presentation. In such a case, the presenting
author should arrange for a substitute presenter and inform the local
organisers of this. Communication should be made by email:
info@gk2010.be.
