Session Types
Plenary Sessions
There are two types of plenary sessions: Keynotes and Panels. Researchers, policymakers, practitioners and members of the public share and discuss their experience in public health translational research.
Paper Presentations
Papers provide an opportunity to share the latest research or practice to a captive audience of peers. Each session will consist of three papers on a similar topic and will be chaired by a Fuse member. Presenters will have 15 minutes for the presentation and five minutes for questions.
Interactive Posters
Posters will be displayed with an opportunity for attendees to write comments and questions. Later on, poster presenters will respond to the comments and questions and develop a shared conversation about their poster.
Fishbowls
Fishbowls are a great way to discuss “hot topics” or ideas and to encourage dialogue. The room is set up with a small inner circle of seats, surrounded by an outer circle. The small group in the center has a conversation, observed by those in the outer circle. The fishbowl can be set up so that people can enter and leave the inner circle to enable others to participate.
Cabaret of Dangerous Ideas
A blend of controversial academic research, audience interaction, and a dash of comedy. Rapid-fire 5-minute presentations to highlight a particular issue close to your heart or express a developing idea and invite on-the-spot feedback from the audience. There are only a few rules for performers; one of the most important is the ban on PowerPoints and videos!
Gallery Spaces
A chance for presenters to share their work during a small, intimate 15-minute group session. After 15 minutes participants move to another gallery space. Presenters should be prepared to repeat their session up to four times. It may be tiring, but it is a great way to enable lots of great ideas to be shared in a short time frame and potentially kick-start conversations that could continue long after the conference has ended.
