informed by email on the results of this first pre-selection. Second phase: The selected applicants will be asked to prepare an extended abstract, consisting of 2 pages, upon which a second preselection will take place. Third phase: The selected candidates have to present their abstract by means of 4 slides (without animation or movies) during a separate and closed session in front of a CED-IADR Robert Frank Award jury at the meeting this followed by a 5-minute discussion with the jury members. The presentation should cover the same material as reported in the abstract:
The files should be saved on a USB Storage Device and brought along. Images should be preferentially in JPG, PNG, GIF or BMP. Suggested font are Times New Roman or Arial. Keep visuals clear and simple; limit animation. Contrasting colors work at best. Use light–colored fonts on a dark-colored background (or vice versa). Five to eight lines per slide and five to seven words per line is the maximum. Vary headings and subheadings with different sizes of lettering. Maintain the same design and type size from slide to slide.
Slide 1: The Introduction will indicate the purpose of the study or shortly identify the research question.
Slide 2: The Materials & methods will describe briefly the procedures and materials employed. Materials and/or drugs should be identified, mentioning, if applicable, the sponsors of the study.
Slide 3: The Results should report the significant findings. Graphics should emphasize key points and provide the visual information the jury needs to understand the message.
Slide 4: The Conclusion(s) should briefly summarize the findings, how they answer the initial question, and how they are based or demonstrated by the experimental data. 5
