Information for presenters
Oral presentations
The lecture theatres are equipped with the following audio-visual equipment:




Data projector and screen
PC or laptop with Windows XP
Lectern and microphone
Lapel and/or hand-held radio microphones
Speakers are requested to bring their presentation on a USB memory stick in either Office 2010 or .pdf format and
preload it onto the PC/laptop located in the lecture theatre. To optimise compatibility, particularly for the inclusion
of multimedia components, speakers should include the original files so that it can be re-embedded if necessary.
Direct connection of personal laptops (with set up in the break prior to the corresponding session) is an acceptable
but not preferred alternative. Mac users should ensure that they bring the correct connection cable (VGA) with them.
The lecture theatre is reasonably large, and speakers should use a minimum 16-point font size in PowerPoint slides
to ensure legibility. Presenters are asked to prepare their talks to match the allocated times which will be rigidly
enforced.
Poster presenters
Posters will be on display in Parkinson Court throughout the conference with a dedicated poster sessions on
Monday afternoon.
Please note that during this poster session, authors should stand close to their boards to answer questions and
facilitate discussions on their work. If you are presenting a poster please ensure that you display your poster on the
board number that matches your poster number in the programme.
Posters must be no larger than A0 in size (118.9 x 84.1cm / 46.8 x 33.1 inches), in a portrait format. If your poster
does not fit within these dimensions, we cannot guarantee it will be displayed.
Posters must be prepared in advance of the conference as it will not be possible to print posters on-site. Fixing
material will be supplied.
Presenters can mount their posters from 09:00 on Monday 30 March. All posters must be removed by 17:15 on
Tuesday 31 March.
Posters are a visual presentation of your research and as such we recommend that you use schematic diagrams,
graphs and tables, where possible, rather than just text. Please use an appropriate sized font so the information is
legible at a distance of 1 metre.
Your poster should include the title, author's name, and affiliations with the presenting author underlined. We
recommend that this information is placed top centre of the page. For the poster, we recommend that you include
an abstract, method section, results section and a conclusion or summary. You might also want to list key
references or acknowledgements. If you decide to structure your paper differently, please ensure you format the
poster with clear headings and keep text to a minimum.

Highlights include:
 Royal Armouries Museum - Bringing 3,000 years of warfare to life, see demonstrations of everything from
sword-fighting to jousting, alongside a sprawling collection of ancient weaponry from the Tower of London
at the world-class Royal Armouries.

Art and Sculpture - Celebrating the Leeds College of Art's most famous graduate, the Henry Moore Institute
is one of the city's cultural highlights, home of the Yorkshire Sculpture Triangle and boasting the largest
sculpture collection in Europe. The Institute is housed in a modern extension to Leeds City Art Gallery,
which itself boasts a fine collection of work by 19th- and 20th-century British painters.

Shopping - Leeds city centre is easy to get around on foot, perfect for dedicated shoppers. The ornate
Victoria Quarter, housed beneath stained-glass ceilings, is home to designer brands including Vivienne
Westwood, Louis Vuitton and The Kooples, as well as the designer flagship Harvey Nichols. Trinity Shopping
Centre is a new development in the city centre and has the majority of high street stores as well as a
cinema and a number of eateries, bars and cafes.

Kirkstall Abbey - Explore one of the most complete examples of a medieval Cistercian abbey in Britain. Set
in wonderful parkland along the banks of the River Aire, Kirkstall Abbey boast historic architecture amid a
haven of wildlife and greenery.
General information for international visitors
14

Money - Britain's currency is the pound sterling (£). Credit cards - especially Visa and Mastercard - are
widely accepted in restaurants, bars, cafés and shops. American Express and Diners Club cards are less
commonly accepted. There are plenty of cash machines (also known as cashpoints or ATMs) dotted around
Leeds.

VAT - Value-added tax (VAT) is a 20% sales tax levied on most goods and services except basic food items,
books and children's clothing. Restaurants must, by law, include VAT in their menu prices. If you are
travelling for leisure or business purposes, you may be eligible for a VAT refund. The VAT refund scheme is
called the Retail Export Scheme or Tax-Free Shopping.
www.hmrc.gov.uk/vat/sectors/consumers/overseas-visitors.htm

Electricity - UK appliances are fitted with three-pin plugs that can be connected to the UK mains supply
through wall sockets. Unlike the sockets in many other countries, these have a switch to turn the power
supply on and off - make sure you've turned it on if you're trying to charge your appliance. UK power
sockets deliver an average voltage of 230v, although in practice this can be slightly higher. To charge
devices that are compatible with this voltage, simply buy the appropriate adapter from the airport or from
high street shops. If your device runs on a lower voltage, however, then you will also need a converter to
stop it from over-heating. Even if your country uses lower voltages, remember to check whether your device
is dual-voltage (look for the 110-240v notation) before buying a converter.

Telephone - If you're visiting Leeds from abroad, don't forget that the UK dialling code is +44 (which
replaces the 0) and to check your own country's code before you travel. Landline numbers in the Leeds
area start with a '113' area code. If you are in the UK you would call Leeds by dialling '0113' if you are
outside of the UK a Leeds number would start '0044 113'. If you are travelling to Leeds from abroad, using
your mobile phone may cost you more than it does at home. Check your network's roaming charges before
you travel.
Magnetism 2015

Climate and weather - Leeds has a changeable climate, the average yearly low is 3°C (37°F) and average
yearly high is 15°C (59°F). For the latest local BBC weather report click here.

Health services - The National Health Service (NHS) is the main healthcare provider in the UK. NHS
treatment is free for UK residents. Overseas nationals are not eligible for free NHS treatment except if they
need emergency treatment while in the UK. You are strongly advised to take out travel insurance to cover
any medical expenses. If you come from a country that holds a UK healthcare agreement, you are entitled
to free or reduced-cost medical treatment if needed immediately for a condition that started after your
arrival in the UK. If you're visiting from Europe, you need to carry a valid EHIC (European Health Insurance
Card) in case you need immediate and necessary medical treatment in an NHS hospital. Without this you
can be charged for treatment. Travel insurance is still advisable as it offers greater flexibility over where and
how you're treated, and can cover expenses not paid for by the NHS. Find out more on the NHS website
www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/Healthcareabroad

Emergencies - Visitors should be aware of their personal safety. Call 999 for the emergency services
(police, fire and ambulance) which is a free call from any phone. You can also call 112 for non-life
threatening assistance and to report crimes. To report non-urgent crime, call the police on 101 from within
the UK.
