Conference
September 9 – 11, 2026
In person
Each oral presentation is scheduled to last 20 minutes, with 15 minutes allocated to the presentation and 5 minutes for Q&A. We ask presenters to strictly adhere to the allocated time so as not to disrupt the programme or affect other presenters.
Exceptions: Sessions WeB3 and WeC3 (Work-in-Progress papers), and Session ThC3 (SS-09). In these cases, the total time allocated for each paper is 10 minutes: 7 minutes for the presentation and 3 minutes for Q&A.
Before their session, presenters must arrive at least 15 minutes before the session begins, introduce themselves to the Session Chairs and upload their presentation to the computer provided for this purpose. Presenters may use their own laptop, provided it has an HDMI port.
Presentations must be in 16:9 widescreen format. The text and presentation must be in English.
The choice of presentation template is up to the presenter.
Tips: Avoid long blocks of text on each slide. Use bullet points to highlight the most relevant aspects of your work.
Online
Ideally, you, as the presenter, should be personally present at the conference. However, should unforeseen circumstances arise, you may opt to present online (provided you notify the organisers in advance).
Online presenters must email the CONTROLO 2026 organising committee (controlo2026@apca.pt) a pre-recorded version of their presentation in advance, no later than one week before their allocated session.
- Accepted formats: .mp4, .mkv and .avi.
- Maximum video length: 15 minutes (except Sessions WeB3, WeC3 and ThC3).
However, online presenters are advised to participate live during their scheduled session and present their work as normal. The video serves only as a final backup.
Presenters should join the session via the link provided (which will be sent in advance) 15 minutes before the session begins, introduce themselves to the session chair and wait for their turn to present.
If the presenter is not in person, online or does not have a backup video, the paper will be considered a no-show and will be excluded from the proceedings.
