Instructions for Speakers and Session Chairs
- Research talks last up to 20 minutes. The session chair will moderate and make sure things stay on schedule.
- Each talk concludes with two written down questions (one easy and one difficult) related to the take-home message of your talk. The questions shall be answered (and answerable!) by the audience.
- After the two questions, there will be a few minutes for comments from the audience and replies from the presenter. The session chair modeartes this part.
