The 17th European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference

Due to the limited number of slots for oral presentation during the Conference, some papers will have to be presented as a poster in order to balance the session volume, depending on the final number of papers per track or per session. Nevertheless, all the accepted papers will be published in full in the archived proceedings of the EWTEC Conference, regardless of their presentation type.

There is not an official template for the oral presentations. The duration of the presentations is typically 15 minutes (12 mins + 3 mins questions) including “Questions and Answers” at the end.
Good practice tips:

• Embed fonts in the file when you save the presentation if you use unusual fonts. It is advised to check your presentation on a different PC than the one you created it.
• Save the file in Windows, PowerPoint compatible format. It is advised to have a copy in PDF.
• Prepare your slides in Standard (16:9 or 4:3) size.
• Please make sure that your presentation does not exceed 15 minutes (25 minutes for the Keynote Speakers).
• Avoid using too much text on slides and do not read the text or a script. Hold your audience by maintaining eye contact and with a lively delivery.
• Speak loudly and clearly at an appropriate pace.
• Enjoy the experience and take the opportunity to show your inspirational work and network with the EWTEC community.

Posters must have a “portrait” orientation and be at A0 Format: 841 x 1189 mm. Please choose appropriate font type and size in order for the posters to be readable from a few meters distance. Do not forget to include the title, authors, their affiliations and contact information.

EWTEC presenter policy: papers accepted for oral or poster presentation will only be included in the published Proceedings under the condition that at least one author attend the conference to present it.

Each registered delegate will be allowed to present only one paper during EWTEC.

Official language: English

All communication, presentations, papers and posters will be in English. No translation will be provided by EWTEC organizers.

The general EWTEC policy requires that authors should only submit original work that neither has appeared elsewhere for publication, nor is under review for another publication or conference. The submitting author is responsible for obtaining agreement of all co authors and any consent required from employers or sponsors before submitting an article. The EWTEC conference strongly discourages courtesy authorship; it is the obligation of the authors to cite only relevant prior work. Please see the Proceedings page for more detailed information.
