The Young Researcher Wall
LCA Food 2012 is happy to offer Ph.D. students and other young researchers an opportunity to connect with research institutes and
private companies by publishing their CVs on the conference web site as well as during the conference on the Young Researcher
Wall, located at the entrance of the Salle du Grand Large (level 1). Research institutes and private companies can also publish their
job offers on our web site and on the Young Researcher Wall during the conference.
Oral presentations
Plenary-session presentations will occur in the Auditorium Chateaubriand (level 0). Parallel-session presentations will occur in the
Auditorium Chateaubriand and two rooms on level 2: Rotonde Surcouf and Amphithéâtre Maupertuis.
Ideally, presentations should not exceed 15 minutes in length; timekeepers will sound a bell to indicate when 2 minutes remain. Any
time remaining in the presentation slot will be available for questions. Timekeeping will be strict to allow participants to switch
between sessions.
For those who have not sent in their presentation before the conference, please give it to Thierry Trochet in the Preview Room in
Salle Charcot (level 1) the day before the presentation is scheduled.
Poster sessions
Posters should be put up in the Salle du Grand Large (level 1) on October 2 between 7.00 and 8.50 hours and stay up for the entire
