Minimalist LaTeX Template for Academic Presentations

This repository contains a LaTeX template to create an academic presentation. The template uses the Beamer class. The template carefully follows typographical best practices and has a minimalist design. The template is particularly well suited for research presentations. It is designed to convey scientific arguments and results effectively.

Documentation

The template is documented at https://pascalmichaillat.org/d1/.

Usage

• Clone the repository to your local machine.
• Start editing the LaTeX file presentation.tex to replace the boilerplate content with the content of your presentation.
• Replace the figures in the PDF file figures.pdf with the figures that will be included in the presentation. There should be one figure per page.
• Compile presentation.tex with pdfTeX. This will generate a new PDF file named presentation.pdf.
• The LaTeX style file presentation.sty collects all the commands to format the presentation. The file must be included in the same folder as presentation.tex. It can be modified to alter the presentation's format.
• The file presentation.pdf is not required to use the template. It only illustrate the output of the template, and will be overridden once presentation.tex is compiled.

Software

The template was developed, tested, and validated on a Mac with the MacTeX-2023 distribution.

While the template should also work on other operating systems and with other LaTeX distributions, compatibility cannot be guaranteed. Users on Windows or Linux systems, or those using different LaTeX distributions, may need to make minor adjustments. Please report any compatibility issues or bugs to help improve cross-platform support.
