Guidelines for oral presentations

Venue: ESA/ESRIN, Big Hall, Building 14

10-12 October 2022

Oral presentations are organised into 4 main plenary sessions (Introduction, Key WOC achievements, Downstream applications, Perspectives and Outlook). Each oral presentation will be maximum 15 minutes, including questions. We would like to ask you to include 1 slide about knowledge gaps and priorities for next steps in your domain of expertise/application, so this information can feed into the discussion sessions of the meeting.

The presenters of the WOC UCM 2022 are kindly requested to upload their presentations on the dedicated laptop of the speaker ready corner located in the conference room (Big Hall).

Presentations will have to be uploaded via USB stick up to 30 minutes before the start of the session.

Before doing so, please check the online programme at https://woc2022.esa.int/#programme for the following information:
