The total time for each speaker for the Annual Work Seminars AWS is 25 minutes. This means you have 20 minutes for your talk and they must have 5 minutes for discussion. We recommend that you structure your talk as follows:

they recommend that you structure your talk as follows:

First 5 minutes:

A clear statement of the goals of your project. Give just enough background so that the audience can appreciate the question you are addressing. It should be clear to the listeners where your research will fit into the current body of knowledge.

10-12 minutes:

Please give only those findings that you have generated in the last year. You can of course mention older data where it is relevant to what you are saying. It is a good idea to restrict yourself to 15 slides. Synthesize your data and present the main findings. You do not need to talk about every experiment you have done.

Last 3 minutes:

Summary and future experiments. This should be in enough detail so that the audience can assess the feasibility of the experiments being planned.

Try and give an impression of the timeline for these experiments.

We wish to stress the value of the talks at the AWS and the importance of attendance at all sessions. Please ensure that you engage, not only in the talks of people in your own lab but also those of other labs.
