Rules of conduct

I. General

  • Participants have to use their correct full name (given name, surname) and affiliation when logging in to the live video sessions or when posting questions and comments in offline discussions; nicknames are not allowed.
  • Authors are asked during the abstract submission process whether or not they agree to their live presentation being recorded; in case they agree, they accept that the meeting organizers will provide a link to a video of their presentation to all registered participants.
  • Participants taking part actively in discussions during live video sessions will also be included in the recorded videos which are provided to all registered participants, either by voice only or by voice and picture (depending on the state of their webcam); if participants do not agree to being recorded, they have to clearly state this when starting to speak; in this case, their appearance in the video will be cut out by the meeting organizers.
