Program field guide
Find the right talk, understand every link and symbol, locate its room, and put it in your calendar.
01
Visual walkthrough
Match the numbered markers in the grid example with the explanation cards beside it.
Select a numbered session button to jump to that part of the program. Each block has its own date and full time range.
Search by presenter, author, title, room, mini-symposium, submission number, date or time. Results update as you type.
The fixed column on the left gives the presentation slot. Read across that row to compare talks taking place at the same time.
Room headings run across the top. Select a room name to open the venue map with that location highlighted.
The coloured MS badge gives the mini-symposium number. The same badge and colour repeat down that track; selecting it opens the mini-symposium overview.
The chair's name appears directly below the icons in each presentation cell. Papers in the same mini-symposium track usually repeat the same chair.
Select the information icon to open the presentation's abstract, complete author list, presenter, chair, schedule and room.
Select the calendar icon to download that talk's .ics file, then open it and confirm the import in your calendar app.
02
Search
Type in the Search submission field. Results appear immediately, show a match count, and are grouped by day. Select a date above the results to jump to that day's matches.
Multiple words narrow the result: every word must be present. Use fewer or shorter words if nothing is found. Clear the field to hide the search results; the complete session grids remain farther down the page.

Presentation details
Select the information icon in any grid cell or search result to open that presentation's dedicated page.
Presented by Doe, John
Submission overview
Read the presentation's full abstract here to decide whether it belongs in your program…
The paper number and session badge confirm what you opened. When shown, the coloured mini-symposium badge links to that symposium's overview.
The schedule card shows the full date and presentation time. Select the underlined room to open the venue map with that room highlighted.
Add to calendar downloads the same single-event .ics file available in the grid. Open the file and confirm the import in your calendar app.
The main column contains the full abstract. The People panel separates the presenter, complete author list and session chair.
A Proceedings button appears beside the calendar action only when a paper link has been provided. It opens the paper in a new browser tab.
Use Back to parallel sessions above the paper card to return to the session grid and continue planning.
04
Calendar
Each icon saves one presentation as a standard .ics calendar file.
Use the calendar button inside the talk you want. Your browser downloads an .ics file.
Open it from the browser's download list or your Downloads folder, then choose your calendar app.
Check the title, date, time and room, choose a calendar, then select Add, Import or Save.
Open the downloaded file, choose the destination calendar, then select OK.
Open the downloaded file. In classic Outlook, select Save & Close. If Outlook asks, choose to import the event rather than only view it.
If the file does not open directly, use Google Calendar on a computer: Settings → Import & export → select the downloaded file and destination calendar → Import.
Open the download and choose your calendar when prompted. If no calendar option appears, share the file to your calendar app or import it from a computer.
It does not update automatically if the programme changes. Recheck the session grid before the talk. Times in the file use the Europe/Berlin time zone and most calendar apps convert them to your device's local time.
05
Troubleshooting
Remove one search word, check the spelling, or search by a surname, submission number, MS 04, or room A310. Search ignores upper- and lower-case differences.
A proceedings link is not available for that paper. Use the information icon to open its presentation page and read the available details.
That is expected. Open the .ics file from your browser downloads or Downloads folder, choose a calendar, and confirm the import.
It appears only during a listed conference slot and follows your device date and time. Conference times are shown in Hannover local time.
The grid is wider than many screens. Swipe left and right on touchscreens, or use the horizontal scrollbar or trackpad on a computer.
