Upload of Powerpoint Presentations (Deadline for first submission is today!)

Thank you all for going through this process. Most people have gone through this process without requiring any support. Others have had some problems and this was usually due to larger files. If your presentation is large, please zip first or use pack and go in the powerpoint program. If it doesn't work - don't panic!

Try to remove large fotos or send your presentation via email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . If that also does not work, then you can also send your presentation on a CD (express) to our institution to Prof. G. Moeslein

St. Josefs Hospital Bochum-Linden
Axstr. 35
44879 Bochum
Germany

Before you get too annoyed about the requirement of early submission of your slides, remember that it is with the aim that your chairpersons are better prepared for the meeting, allowing for more in-depth discussion of your important work!
