Diffuse Infrared Radiation and the IRTS

Program (3rd Cricular)

Allocated time

20 min. presentation + 10 min. discussion for invited papers
15 min. presentation + 5 min. discussion for contributed papers

Size of the poster is 180cmx90cm.

All posters are displayed during the whole period of the Symposium. A special session for the poster is not planned. We expect that presentators will be at the poster during the coffee breaks of the related sessions.

We request all speakers to prepare their viewgraphs with large characters, since the screen is not so large. We recommend no more than 7 lines in one viewgraph.
