House Rules

We are expecting a large number of attendees. That is why we would like to ask you the following:
• Keep your microphone muted. Your microphone will be put on mute by default when you enter the session.
• Use the Q&A box to ask questions during the keynote speeches:
if questions pop up during the keynote speeches, don’t hesitate to ask them right away but make use of the Q&A functionality. The speaker will answer your question during the live Q&A.
• Use the Chat box to ask questions during the paper presentations:
If questions pop-up during the paper presentations in the breakout room, please ask them by using the Chat functionality. The paper presenter will answer your question after the presentation during the live question and answer session.
• Raise your hand button. If you prefer to ask a question verbally during the Q&A or paper presentation directly to the keynote speaker or paper presenter, click Raise Hand in the webinar controls in Zoom. The host will be notified that you have raised your hand. If the host allows you to talk and if time allows, you may be unmuted by the meeting host.
• Switch on your camera. Non-verbal cues are an essential part of communication that gets left out without the ability to see someone. Turning on your camera during a conference allows you to maximise the communication channel adding more sentiment and expressions that spice up the discussion.

Please note
The plenary sessions of the Academic Conference will be recorded, the parallel break-out sessions will not be recorded.
