- The total duration for each presentation is 15 minutes (12+3). This timing should be strictly followed. The schedule of presentations will be updated soon on the website.
- Evaluation will be based on several parameters, including presentation skill, slides, novelty, time management and contribution to the field.
Support to SPC/YSA:
The SPC/YSA finalists will receive:
- Free conference registration
- Free accommodation covering the full conference duration (Note that, accommodation will be provided by the iRAD-2024 organizers.) (If the SPC/YSA finalists arrange for alternative accommodation, they have to bear the entire expenses on their own.)
- SPC: To and fro travel support upto third AC train fare or lower for the shortest distance from the applicant’s residence/office to the conference venue.
- YSA: To and fro travel support upto second AC train fare or lower for the shortest distance from the applicant’s residence/office to the conference venue.
Note that, for both SPC/YSA finalists, a maximum of INR 8,000 will be considered for reimbursement on the production of the actual receipt.
