Instruction for Chairs of Sessions
A volunteer from the organizing committee will be present during the whole session to assist session chairs.
In order for the conference to run smoothly, session chairs are kindly asked to make the schedule to be strictly respected.
An evaluation form has to be filled for each session, either oral or dialogue, by the session chairs. They are kindly asked to give it to the assistant volunteer or to leave it at the registration desk.
Oral Sessions
All rooms will be equipped with a computer, a video projector and a screen. Presentations must be downloaded to the computer before the session starts. Authors have been asked to meet session chairs at the session room 15 minutes before the beginning of the session and to provide them with their presentations (in PowerPoint or PDF) and short bios.
The length of oral presentations is restricted to 20 minutes, including questions. The authors have been strongly advised to keep their oral presentation within 15 minutes and to let 5 minutes for discussion with the audience. Session chairs are kindly asked to make authors to strictly respect the schedule. In case of “no show”, the session must be either suspended until the time the next paper is scheduled, or closed if there are no more papers in the session.
Dialogue Sessions
At the beginning of the session, each author will have 2-3 minutes available to briefly describe to the audience the main objectives, accomplishments and conclusions of their work. After that, the session chairs must promote interaction among authors and attendees.
