Dear all,

as you know, papers accepted for the "contributed sessions" will be presented first as a 5' presentation (a speedy-talk, during which you may
present framework, key-ideas, main results and their meaning/implication). For each contributed session there will be a discussant that will stimulate and
coordinate a 30' debate at the end of all speedy talks. The discussion will continue at the "exhibition corner for contributed sessions”
after the presentations during the coffee-break following the session. To this end,  we strongly recommend authors
to prepare also a poster in A1 format, which measures 59.4 x 84.1 cm (23 x 33 inches) in portrait orientation.
If an A1 poster is not possible, up to eight A4 sheets can be used instead.
There are 10 available corners for displaying posters, with a maximum of 4 posters per corner (two on each side).
Poster should be fixed the before the beginning of session and removed immediately after lunch (for morning presentation) or at the end of the day
(for afternoon presentation).

The Faculty offers an external printing service at the “Centro Copie Economia Univpm- Ancona”, which can print A4 and A3 size PDF documents.
The cost for an A4 black and white copy is €0.04, while a color copy costs €0.40. The price for an A3 black and white copy is €0.08 and €0.80 for a color copy.
