Only the presenter of a selected abstract will be eligible for the grant and he/she should be a SIR member, younger than 40 years old and in good standing with the membership fees (2021 included).

Oral presentations
Oral presentations are limited to 7 minutes followed by 3 minutes of discussion and will be allocated in the plenary sessions.
Participants presenting in oral sessions are requested to submit their presentations to the slide centre at least 1 hour before the start of their session.
Posters
All posters will be on display for the duration of the Congress from 6 to 8 May. Each Poster has been given a number and should be fixed to the board marked with the same number. Presenters must therefore be available at their poster board during lunch time on May 7, in order to discuss their poster with interested viewers and reply to any question received. Each poster session will be guided by a chairperson.
The best posters presented by authors under 40 will receive a prize during the Closing Ceremony. The selection will be done by the Chairs during the poster discussions.
