RANZCR EPOS™, the New Electronic Presentation Online System
The College’s Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) moved from traditional hardcopy posters to electronic presentations in 2007, and in 2010 the electronic presentation system will take on a different electronic format using an Electronic Presentation Online System (EPOS™) which was developed in 2003 by the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) and remains a permanent online database of scientific and educational presentations.
The College was the first organisation outside of Europe to introduce the ECR electronic presentation system. The RANZCR EPOS™ system was released as part of the 2010 Annual Scientific Meeting in Perth, Western Australia.
EPOS™ provides greater flexibility and an enhanced opportunity to better develop scientific presentations and research skills among College members. The new system’s capabilities include:
- A predetermined presentation template
- The ability to insert links to related websites
- Ability to use moving images
- PDF forwarding of presentations
- Award/prize recognitions
- Rating systems (from users)
- Bookmarking and access from any computer with an internet connection after the meeting
EPOS™ also includes features available in the current system e.g. database topic, author and keyword searches and author communication.
The system enables historical archiving for all presentations submitted through EPOS™ for the Annual Scientific Meetings (ASM), making the EPOS™ a valuable research tool. The College’s EPOS™ library can also be added to the ESR EPOS™ catalogue, providing an international audience.
College exhibits will be available to members through the RANZCR EPOS™ from the 2010 ASM and then constantly available online via the College’s website.
Annually, the preceding years exhibits will be archived but easily accessible through the system making RANZCR EPOS™ a valuable research tool and with access to RANZCR EPOS™ through ECR the exhibits will be exposed to an international audience.
