Participation in the hybrid sessions

  • The online participants must follow the indications in the virtual area.
  • In-person speakers must use the rooms' PCs and share their presentations on the Zoom session open there with the name of the room.
  • The PCs have loudspeakers, a webcam and microphones. The speakers must move the webcam to show the area from where they will be standing, so that they are visible from Zoom, and talk near the microphones.
  • Please verify with the online conference assistant (identified as "Angel" on Zoom) that the virtual attendees can hear you.
  • Standard talks are 25 minutes, including the discussion coordinated by the chair. Strict timing must be observed.
