Panoramic Radio Astronomy
Wide-field 1-2 GHz research on galaxy evolution
2-5 June 2009, Groningen, the Netherlands
Presentation slides are available at the bottom of this page.
The final conference program is also available in pdf format.
With the exception of the first session, invited speakers will have 25 minutes for their talk + 5
minutes for questions. Contributed speakers will have 15+5 minutes. A Mac laptop
will be available to upload talks in Keynote (iWork '08), Powerpoint
(Microsoft '04 for Mac) and PDF format before each session. If needed,
speakers may use their own laptop for talks.
We will have a poster presentation session on the afternoon of the first
day, to allow poster presenters to give a brief (1 minute) summary of their
poster, and to encourage visitors to the posters (which will be located in
the coffee-break lounge). The poster size should be A0 or smaller. For the 1 minute poster summary
presentation, we will ask you to prepare one single landscape slide 800x600
(with no animations!) in PDF format and provide it to us by lunchtime on
June 2nd (it can be mailed to us prior to the conference).
