Submissions for RIPE 72
by Marc Werner 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding the submission for RIPE 72: a) Is the 500 words limit for the slides that need to be submitted beforehand or for the abstract to be provided in the application form? b) How long is the presentation meant to be? Are the 30 minutes for “stand-alone presentations” are also applied to the RACI submissions or are there other slots assigned? c) Are the presentation slides due with the application or can they be handed in later? It would be great to hear from you and I am looking forward to hopefully meet you in Copenhagen. Best regards, Marc
