LaTeX/Beamer theme for IIASA presentations

This repository contains a LaTeX Beamer theme that mimics the appearance of the IIASA presentation templates for Microsoft PowerPoint.

Contributions and refinements from IIASA colleagues are welcome.

Features, usage, and demo

  • See the files demo.tex and demo-2019.tex, which demonstrate most of the features described below. On a system with GNU Make installed, run make to compile both of these demo files to PDF.

  • Select theme version. Use either the 2019 or 2024 version of the theme:

    \documentclass[aspectratio=169]{beamer}
    \usetheme[version=2024]{iiasa}

    The 2024 version is default and will be selected if no option is given.

  • Install fonts. The 2019 version of the theme uses Tahoma (if available; proprietary) or Fira (free) fonts. The 2024 version uses Source Sans Pro, which is available in the TeXLive package of the same name.

  • The title frame, section frames, and a “Thank you!” frame (see below) are displayed with a coloured or image background and the IIASA logo. The files used for this purpose are in the image/ directory.

  • The IIASA colours are available, including e.g. IIASAblue. See beamercolourthemeiiasa_20*.sty. The colours are used to style text elements, including internal and external hyperlinks.

  • (2019 theme version only.) To handle long frame titles, use:

    {
    \pgfkeys{/iiasa/frametitle=long}
    \begin{frame}
    …
    \end{frame}
    }
  • Generate a “Thank you!” frame:

    \makefinalslide
  • Use \appendix; frames after this one will be numbered but the total number of frames displayed will include only frames up to this point. For example, a bibliography may begin on frame “21/20”, where frame 20 is the last before \appendix.
