The 10th Conference on the Mechanical Behavior of Salt will be held on July 6-8, 2022 at Utrecht University, the Netherlands.
The provisional program can be downloaded here and is shown below.
Technical Tours
During the ice breaker, on Tuesday 5 July from 16.00-17.00h, it is possible to visit the facilities of our High Pressure and Temperature Laboratory, located in the new Earth Simulation Laboratory of the Utrecht Science Park. The lab is only a short walk from the registration desk of SaltMech X, so we hope you will take this opportunity to check our facilities!
Presenter Instructions
Please note that all presentations are subject to the Paper Submission Terms and Conditions.
Oral presentation
Oral Presentations should be provided as a PowerPoint presentation or an Adobe Acrobat file (*.PPT, *.PPTX or *.PDF). Oral presentations are limited to 15 minutes followed by 5 minutes of discussion. In order to keep the sessions running on schedule and allow questions from the audience it is very important to keep the presentations within the allotted time. You will be cut short if your presentation exceeds the allotted time.
You can upload your talk from Wednesday 8.00h until the break immediately prior to the session block your presentation is scheduled for. There is no requirement for a specific template for the preparation of your presentation. For those who would prefer to use a SaltMech X template, a *.PPT template can be downloaded here.
PICO presentation (“4-min madness”)
To support the poster presentations, we will have two sessions with brief PICO presentations on Wednesday 6 July. These PICO presentations consist of 4 minute mini-talks intended to attract attention for the posters on display during the various breaks. There is no requirement for a specific template for the preparation of your PICO presentation, with the exception of the strict time-limit, so please limit to 2-3 slides max. For those who would prefer to use a SaltMech X template, a *.PPT template can be downloaded here.
Poster presentation
Posters will be on display for the entirety of the conference and can be put up as early as 15.00h on Tuesday 5 July. Poster boards allow for posters of A0 portrait size. To facilitate the poster session, brief (4 min) PICO presentations by all poster presenters will be given on Wednesday 6 July – see the program. There is no requirement for a specific template for the preparation of your poster. For those who would prefer to use a SaltMech X template, a *.PDF template can be downloaded here.
