Oral Presentations (in-person)
A good oral presentation has a clear objective, a well-defined structure and uses clear and simple illustrations.
Oral Presentations (in-person)
A good oral presentation has a clear objective, a well-defined structure and uses clear and simple illustrations.
Objective & Structure
Your objective defines what you wish to achieve with your presentation. To achieve a realistic objective you must consider the characteristics of your audience: their motives for attending your presentation, their interests, their knowledge level and their intentions.
The structure of a good presentation is as follows:
- Define the subject, give a general outline and state the goals of your presentation in your introduction.
- Work out your presentation in more detail.
- Summarise and draw conclusions, which refer back to your introduction.
Please be very careful that your presentation is scientific and not commercial. In addition, the company logo or trademarks are allowed only in the first and on the last page of the power point slides (videos and oral presentations).
We recommend you to make an overview with the estimated timing of your presentation and to prepare yourself for questions from the audience. Rehearsal of your presentation is strongly recommended! Please note that presenting to a live audience can take a little longer than during a rehearsal.
It is important to adhere to the time schedule: 25 minutes in total per presentation (20 minutes speaking time and 5 minutes question time).
Generally, audience’s attention is high at the beginning of an oral presentation, will decrease and is at its worst about two thirds of the way through. When you reach the conclusion, their attention will increase again. You can help your audience to concentrate by restricting detail to a minimum, using variety in visual aids and tone of voice, maintaining eye contact and by summarising frequently.
Visual Aids
Each session room is equipped with a data projector and a computer (for the PowerPoint or PDF presentation); therefore no additional computers will be required.
The presentation needs to be uploaded to the EAGE ECMOR 2024 presentations repository (the link to repository and more information about this will be available in the Final Details for Presenters message sent from EAGE Abstracts mailbox closer to the event start date).
Poster Presentations (in-person)
A poster is an ideal medium for an informal exchange of ideas and it can pave the way great discussions between participants. All on-site poster presenters have in total 60 minutes to present their work, including time for questions.

To have a successful presentation, make sure your poster is attractive, well laid out and largely self-explanatory. The explanation of your poster should complement your visual display.
The poster presentation should be given during the allocated time slot. Please note that the presenter MUST be on-site to present the poster. Simply hanging up the poster does not suffice as a presentation. Should you encounter difficulties presenting the poster, you are urged to contact your session chairperson AND an EAGE representative, located at the EAGE desk.
The poster will be on display throughout the 3-day conference. This should be mounted between 08:00 hrs and 09:00 hrs (TBC).
Poster Facilities
In order to facilitate presenting your poster, we will provide:
- Display unit: One (1) wall element, inside measurements of approx. 95 cm wide and 147 cm high (TBC).
- Mounting materials.
