ORAL PRESENTATIONS
Oral presentations last 15 minutes: 10 minutes for the presentation and 5 minutes for questions. Presentations will be grouped according to the theme/subtheme, so please choose the most appropriate theme proposed. If your abstract is accepted but not selected for an oral presentation, there is the possibility of presenting it as a poster.
POSTER
Posters are visual and concise tools for presenting projects and scientific advances, providing a unique opportunity for interaction with a broad audience. They will be displayed during the poster session.
CREATIVE PRESENTATIONS
Creative presentations aim to present research projects in innovative and creative ways, reaching a broader audience. You may present your work using dance, costumes, visual arts, music, poetry, theater, video, storytelling, art, among others. Describe in detail how you plan to carry out the presentation and which technique you will use. Additionally, describe the elements needed to present your idea during the congress (sound system, projector, computer, etc.). Presentations should not exceed 15 minutes. If you require more time, please indicate this at the time of registration.
