Format of the Symposium

The meeting will be held entirely online, using a dedicated online conference platform. The Symposium will include both live and on-demand events. During each of the four main conference days, we will have three live events: a plenary talk, an organized Special Session and a workshop. We will also have a number of contributed oral talks, posters with an option for lightning talks, and (a new feature) also virtual excursions. These contributions will be pre-recorded and offered on-demand during the main Symposium days and will remain accessible for the following month.

The Symposium will also include traditional activities. We will organize Young Scientists' Awards for excellent oral or poster presentations. During the final day of the Symposium, we will host a General Assembly, which will be live and open to all symposium participants, with announcements of Award winners and plans for future symposia.

You will be provided instruction and support to record your oral presentation or lightning talk (accompanying poster presentation) during the four week period before the Symposium. There is nothing to worry about – we hired a professional company, hoping this will guarantee a smooth and pleasant presentation experience.
