Pitch sessions - 53rd ESLAB Symposium
Information on the pitch sessions
When?
These pitch sessions are held right before coffee breaks to allow further discussion during the break:
- Monday pitch session from 15:00 to 15:30
- Tuesday pitch session from 15:00 to 15:30
- Thursday pitch session from 15:10 to 15:30
Details are available in the programme, and below a summary is given of the dedicated time slot for each participant.
What is a poster pitch?
A poster pitch consists of a short pitch talk given on your research with provided access to digital material like a digital poster available for further reading. Each pitch session consists of a series of pitches by participants. To allow for a smooth transition between the pitches of one pitch session, the organising committee will prepare a combined presentation of each pitch contribution. This combined presentation will be used during the pitch session.
Preparation of the poster pitch
The short pitch talk will be a two minute pitch of your research and consists of a maximum of one or two slides to be shown during your pitch talk. Expected format for the slides is either powerpoint or pdf, using landscape orientation. You can add to your slides an introduction slide with your name/title to be used as the transfer between the previous talk and your talk. If not provided by you, we will make one for you. The introduction slide comes on top of the allowed one to two slides for your pitch talk. Please send these slides to the Gaia Helpdesk (gaia-helpdesk@cosmos.esa.int with subject: "Pitch Slides") preferably before Thursday 4 April 17:00 CEST), but definitely before the respective deadline given below to give us some time to prepare the pitch session.
Interactive elements are allowed, but be sure to clearly mention along with your submission what was added so that we can do a first quick check if the added interactive element is still there. You will have the option to check the combined pitch sessions presentation to see if your contribution is fully there, correct and working as it should (see the given test moments below).
Any digital material you wish to share to support your pitch talk, can be uploaded to the 53rd ESLAB symposium Zenodo community. Please read the instructions carefully. Links to the supporting digital material will be made available through this page.
Please be aware that you will not be able to display a printed poster on a poster board. All poster boards available will be used by the poster session participants. A pitch session contribution consists of the pitch talk (as described above) + digital material.
Deadlines
Deadlines for providing pitch session slides:
- Monday pitch session: send your slides to the Gaia Helpdesk before Thursday 4 April 23:59 CEST
- Tuesday pitch session: send your slides to the Gaia Helpdesk before Saturday 6 April 23:59 CEST
- Thursday pitch session: send your slides to the Gaia Helpdesk before Wednesday 10 April 12:00 CEST
Test moments
To allow for a final test to see if your contribution made it correctly to the final presentation, you can check your slides as incorporated into the pitch session presentation at a dedicated moment:
- Monday pitch session: Monday 8 April before lunch at around 13:00
- Tuesday pitch session: Monday 8 April after the last presentation at around 17:20
- Thursday pitch session: Thursday 10 April before lunch at around 13:00
These tests will be performed in one of the conference rooms (Newton or Einstein) with the help of Tineke Roegiers, the local organising committee member responsible for the pitch sessions.
