For more women to choose career paths in science, we need structural changes. The Leipzig University offers various measures to retain more women in the academic system after their doctorate and to increase their presence at all qualification levels. Presenting his work, the Equal Opportunities Officer, Georg Teichert, is intended to inform about the various support services offered by the Leipzig University.

Datablitz Presentation Instructions

As a well-established part, the data blitz presenters will each dedicate five minutes during the oral session to introduce the data that they will later present during the poster session. The purpose of the data blitz session is for poster presenters to entice delegates to visit their posters, inspire further discussion, but NOT to present complete results.

For the data blitz, presenters should prepare NO MORE THAN FIVE (5) PowerPoint slides:

1) The first slide should contain the title, the names of all authors on their poster, the institution(s) where the research is performed and any acknowledgements/funding sources.

2) The second slide should contain an overview of the study's background and the critical question/s being addressed.

3) The third slide should contain brief information about the experimental design that is being used to address the question (you can use a diagram, timeline and/or bullet points).

4) The fourth/fifth slide should contain ONE figure OR photo (try to permit only one) to convey the central finding. Presenters should not attempt to communicate all of their results during the data blitz.

There will also be up to three minutes after each talk for presenters to field questions from the audience. Some people may elect to introduce their study and methods only and encourage people to visit their poster to discover and discuss the presenter's results.

• Every participant has to prepare a presentation for the data blitz session and a poster
  • TITLE IS NEEDED TILL 2 MARCH
