Guidelines for Presentations, Presenters and Speakers


Conference Languages

The conference languages (Priorities and Projects Forum) will be English, French and Spanish. Simultaneous interpretation will be provided in these three languages.

German may be spoken but there will be no interpretation into German.

Participants may therefore choose to intervene or make presentations in either of the three conference languages or in German. Handouts and other materials used by speakers should be submitted in English. The secretariat cannot provide translations of such materials.

There will be no interpretation service in the Scientific and Technical Symposium which will be entirely in English.
