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.
