  • Please enter your full name and abbreviation of your institute when entering GoToMeeting
  • Please switch off your camera and microphone
  • We will be using Google Docs (1 document per session) instead of Nextcloud to collect questions for the speakers
  • Questions will be gathered and summarized by the session chairs
  • Our data information sheet has been updated and distributed accordingly (see our e-mail of 20 May, 2020)
  • As several participants have objected to the recording of talks, we will not record any talks.



Information for speakers:

Procedure for talks

  • Presentations should be uploaded in advance to Nextcloud (see below)
  • In the sessions: one central presenter (moderator) advancing the slides upon "next slide" -> 2-3 s delay is normal
  • Cameras off, please, except when it is your turn to speak
  • 15 minutes talk + 5 minutes of discussion
  • Session chairs monitor Google Docs during the talk and pose questions to the presenter at the end of the talk
  • All other questions can be answered afterwards in the Google Docs


Preparation of slides:

Kindly prepare your presentation slides as follows:

  • Aspect ratio: Full HD (16:9)
  • Presentation slides as plain PDF files (without transitions, embedded videos etc. )
  • File Naming:  __.pdf
    -> format numbers less than 10 with leading 0 for correct sorting (01_ABC … 10_DEF)
  • Use a large enough font size on your slides suitable for reading on a shared screen

 
We cannot guarantee that videos can be played fluently via screen sharing in GoToMeetings. Therefore please upload your videos and animations as separate files into the Nextcloud container.

There is a separate Nextcoud container for each of the 4 workshop sessions. For the upload link of your respective session, please see our e-mail of 13 May 2020.

Please keep with the guidelines, making sure that we receive everyone’s contribution in the right format and order.
