General instructions
We would like to make the conference as accessible as possible for everyone. We would therefore like to ask you kindly to think about making your poster, workshop, panel or presentation as accessible as possible, and keep this in mind. For instance:
- Please make sure to include everyone in the conversation;
- If you are presenting, please make sure to use your microphone well and speak at a normal pace – not everyone present is an English native speaker;
- Please use a white background behind your text(s) on your printed materials for optimal readability, and do not place text over images;
- Please choose font colour black for printed materials;
- Please use 12 as a minimum font size for printed materials.
- An HDMI connection is available in every presentation room
- Bring your own adapter
More information on the specific sessions can be found below.
- There will be no additional facilitator for your session. Please make sure your workshop begins and ends on time.
- Your session should offer an opportunity for interaction and hands-on work on a question, topic, or method, allowing for multiple perspectives to enter the conversation.

- The tables in the room will be arranged in (small) groups of around 6 participants.
- If you have other requirements or questions, please email to her@uu.nl.

- There will be no additional facilitator or moderator for your session. It will be the responsibility of the panel to guide discussion and ensure the session begins and ends on time.
- Because panels need to reserve at least 40 minutes for discussion among panelists and audience members, our suggested format for panels is for each speaker to introduce themselves and their topic in a 5-10 minute segment as time allows and then ensure adequate time remains for discussion.
- Internet access, screen, laptop, and a projector will be available in your presentation room.
- If you have other requirements or questions, please email to her@uu.nl
- Papers will be grouped by common themes, with 4 paper presentations scheduled for each room during 60-minute sessions and 6 papers scheduled for each room during 90-minute sessions.
- Because of the enormous interest in the conference and because we want to give as many people as possible a chance to present at ISSOTL23, presentations may last a maximum of 15 minutes. Within these 15 minutes you will have 12 minutes to present and 3 minutes for questions. This will be strictly enforced to leave room for discussion in the sessions.
- A moderator will play the role of timekeeper during your session and will make sure that everyone has their allotted 15 minutes.
- To ensure that each presenter has the full amount of time to present, please arrive 15 minutes before the start of the concurrent session to avoid being disruptive to other presenters and to set up your presentation in the room.
- Internet access, screen, laptop, and a projector will be available in your presentation room.
- The presentations are held in rooms with a theater setup.
- If you have other further questions, please email to her@uu.nl
- We will supply push pins/thumbtacks and posterboards.
- Each poster should have A1 format and should be horizontal oriented (594 x
840 millimeter. 59,4 x 84 centimeter. 23,4 x 33,1 inch). It should
not be larger than these dimensions.
- Font should be readable from 1-1.5 m (3-5 feet) away (24 point as a font size at least).
- Handouts/QR codes with additional or more detailed information are welcome.
- Poster have been grouped based on disiciplinary background, with 7-12 poster presentations scheduled per session. An invitation has been send to those poster-presenters that have been selected for this activity.
- Presenters have 10 minutes to present and discuss their poster with the participants of the session. After 10 minutes there will be a change, where you will stay in your seat and other participants can join you. If no one joins at a certain moment you are free to visit the other posters in the train compartment.
- Bring a small (A3 or A4) printed copy of your poster or to bring your laptop with you.
