The dissemination manual establishes rules for the external image of ISISE and it gives guidance for their implementation.
2. Templates for Presentations
The use of these templates is mandatory for all communications, such as conference participations, scientific meetings, lectures, defense of Project of Thesis or PhD Thesis etc. In case of conferences where there is a conference template, the use of the ISISE template remains mandatory. However, the first slide of the presentation may be that of the conference template.
This applies to all ISISE members (PhD and non-PhD).
There are three types of template:
- ISISE (meant for communications that related to the research center as a whole) download here.
- ISISE-UCoimbra (meant for meant for communications that related to ISISE-UCoimbra research) download here.
- ISISE- UMinho (meant for meant for communications that related to ISISE-UMinho research) download here.
3. Templates for E-mail signatures
The use of these templates is optional for all members. Your email signature is a personal choice, however if you choose to use one, you should do your best to respect the order in which the information appears in your signature.
Additionally, ISISE is fully committed to reducing our digital carbon footprint, i.e., ISISE suggests you to replace images with text and links.
There are four types of template:
