To ensure a high-quality experience for all attendees, please follow these guidelines when preparing your session.
1. Timing & Format
- Total Time Slot: 18 minutes
- Recommended Breakdown: We suggest 13 minutes for your presentation, followed by 5 minutes for Q&A
- Session Chair: A moderator will be present in each room to introduce you and keep the session on schedule.
2. Presentation Content (By Track)
To maintain the conference’s goal of driving action, please ensure your presentation covers the following core elements:
| Track A: Scientific Research | Track B: Practitioner Experience |
|---|---|
| The problem: Clearly state the societal risk and the research gap addressed | The Challenge: Describe the specific real-world scenario or crisis handled |
| Methods: Briefly explain the ‘how’ – keep it accessible for non-specialists | The Action: What strategy, policy, or tool was implemented? |
| Key findings: What does the data tell us? | Impact & Results: What changed? How did this improve resilience? |
| The Bridge: What is the practical application of this research? | The Lesson: What can scientists or other practitioners learn from this case? |
3. Visuals & Design
- Slide Aspect Ratio: Please use 16:9 (widescreen).
- Readability: Use large fonts (minimum 20pt) and high-contrast colors.
- Accessibility: Avoid relying solely on color to convey meaning (for colorblind accessibility) and keep slides uncluttered.
- Bilingualism: While the spoken presentation can be in English or Swedish, we recommend using English for slide text if your audience is likely to be international.
4. Technical Requirements
- File Format: Please send us your presentation by email at least 24 hours before your scheduled presentation. If this is not possible, kindly bring your presentation on a USB flash drive in PPTX (PowerPoint) or PDF format.
- Submission: Presentations should be uploaded to the room’s computer at least 15 minutes before your session begins (during a coffee break or lunch).
- Equipment: Each room is equipped with a system, a projector, a sound system, and a remote clicker.
5. The “RisCon Bridge” Principle
Remember that your audience is mixed.
- If you are a Scientist/Researcher: Avoid overly dense jargon; explain why your data/framework matters to the person ‘on the ground’.
- If you are a Practitioner: Provide enough context so researchers understand the systemic constraints you are working within.
Note for Poster Presenters: If you have been assigned a poster session instead of an oral presentation, specific dimensions and setup times will be emailed to you directly and updated on this page.
