Oral & POSTER & ONLINE Sessions requirements

Dear Colleagues,

Please take into consideration the following information about the  Oral and POSTER sessions:

Oral presentation requirements:

You should prepare a 20-minute oral/live presentation, including time for questions and answers (5 minutes); the presentation should be in MS PowerPoint or PDF format and emailed to cristina.bragadiru@cetti.ro (a recommended template for the first slide can be found here) by October 27, 2026.

Poster presentations requirements:

 We ask that you provide us with the following materials:

• – an e-poster for the on-site gallery,
• – a maximum 2-minutes presentation to be included in the on-site gallery and displayed during the conference pitching session,
• – a physical poster (format details below) to be displayed on site.

Please refer to the following section for more details:

• Before and during the conference: a poster gallery will be available for all those who register for SIITME2026, containing both an e-poster and the recorded presentation. Both files, the poster and the recording, should be sent to cristina.bragadiru@cetti.ro by October 27.
  The e-poster should be a JPG, PNG or PDF file with the name IDXXX_Poster_Autorname_SIITME2026. Although any size can be used, keep in mind that participants will be viewing the posters on their computer screens. We recommend that the posters should be readable at full screen width without zooming. No specific template is required, but it is recommended that you include contact information.

The short presentation should capture the interest of the audience and convince them to come to the poster during the conference to discuss further and share information. Presentations should be no longer than 2 minutes and should be in AVI or MP4 format. The file should be named IDXXX_VideoPitch_AuthorName_SIITME2026 (where IDXXX stands for the paper ID). You can use slides (PowerPoint or PDF, preferably 1280×720 or 1920×1080 in 16:9 format), which should not be overloaded with information. You can use animations, annotations, “spotlight” as well as a video of yourself, but make sure the recording looks good to the audience and is not too cluttered. It is a good idea to include a picture or video of the presenting author(s) in the video clip.

• During the conference: papers will be included in the poster sessions according to the program posted on the conference website. Each session will consist of the poster pitch, followed by approximately ten minutes of discussion in front of the poster with the evaluation team appointed by the organizers. After the pitching session, you should be present for the evaluation of your poster and for further discussion with people interested in the topic you are addressing.

All poster authors are asked to bring a printed poster to the conference venue, which will be displayed on a special board. The poster should be printed in portrait format (1:1.41) and the recommended size is no larger than A1. Although any size can be used, keep in mind that participants will see the printed poster on the board. No specific template is required, but it is recommended that the conclusions, key references, and acknowledgements (if any) are included.

ONLINE presentations requirements:

You should prepare a 15-minute oral/online/live presentation, and up to 10 minutes time for questions and answers; the presentation should be in MS PowerPoint or PDF format and emailed to cristina.bragadiru@cetti.ro (a recommended template for the first slide can be found here) by October 27, 2026. The online conference tool will be Microsoft Teams and a link will be sent before the start of the Online session.

We look forward to meeting you at SIITME 2026!
