STATUS: 3 December 2025

In short

We plan to organise the EMS2025 as a hybrid event, to provide opportunities onsite as well as online. Detailed information and guidelines for conveners, session chairing, oral, and poster presenters, opportunities for early career scientists, and side meeting organizers will become available in due time.

Duration

We intend to run the session programme from Monday (8 September 2025) morning at 09:00 CEST until Friday (12 September 2025) at lunch time. However, depending on the number of abstracts that will be received, we may have to extend the conference again until Friday afternoon (18:00 CEST). A final decision will be taken by early June 2025 and communicated here.
The Icebreaker will be scheduled on Sunday evening (7 September 2025).

Oral presentations

  • Oral sessions will be run in a fully hybrid format using zoom for all oral presentations, both onsite and online; a stream for simply watching the sessions will also be available.
  • Oral presentations follow the standard format (12 min + 3 min Q&A), while strictly selected solicited talks are longer (25 min + 5 min).
  • All oral presentations (onsite and online) need to be uploaded to the conference platform as presentation file at least 24 hours in advance of the start of the session. Note that no upload onto the laptop in the lecture room will be allowed. Upload starts 8 August 2024. Online presenters have the option to share their presentation from their local device.
  • For presenters who agree to the publication of their talk, recordings will be made available online after the meeting.
  • The platform zoom will be used for all oral presentations, both onsite and online. In addition, the oral sessions can be followed through a stream. On the live programme page, two buttons will appear to choose between zoom or the stream. Note that the streaming platform will not offer any possibility to interact with online or onsite participants. Anyone presenting online needs to use zoom.

Poster presentations

  • Poster sessions will be run onsite only.
  • Each poster is assigned a specific board (number) in the poster area onsite. Poster display times and poster-in-attendance times (poster sessions) will be scheduled for each session. Poster display times typically cover one or two days for each poster; poster-in-attendance time (i.e. poster sessions) are scheduled on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evening, 18:00–19:30 (CEST).
  • Poster presentations can also be uploaded as a presentation file until at least 24 hours in advance of the start of the session; these will then be accessible to all registered EMS2024 participants during the entire poster display time.
  • Poster pitches: Conveners are encouraged to schedule a time block for poster pitches during their oral session.
