Research presentation is integral part of a symposium. Authors of all accepted manuscripts must make the presentations. The manuscripts, which are not presented during the symposium, are generally not considered for the publications. If this is the case, authors should know in advance. Presentations are divided into different sessions, which are grouped according to the topics of the scope. Length of the symposium is largely driven the numbers of the total presentations, and the time for each presentation.

Presentation time is 15 minutes followed by 5 minutes question/ answer/ discussion.It is preferred to have uniform structure of the presentations, which helps other researchers (listeners) to follow all presentations systematically. All presents follow the expected line and enable the predictability for the listeners. Following sections/ order is used to maintain uniformity across the presentations.

• Introduction (Initial slides): Introductory information of your research work, goal, objective, etc. Please avoid generic information, such as hydropower, type of hydraulic turbines, renewable energy, etc. This symposium is on hydraulic machinery and all participants are aware of the generic knowledge.
• Research method and approach (Middle slides): This part of slides should contain research method explaining, the method you have used to solve the research problem. This can be, experimental approach, numerical approach, geometry, mesh, calibration, data verification and validation, data analysis techniques, etc.
• Results (Later slides): Here authors will present the research results of your work.
• Conclusions (End slides): Here you will present the conclusions of your work. Use bullet points and write main outcome/conclusions. Try to avoid very long sentences. Conclusions must be clear and able to answer the goal/objectives presented in initial slides.
