The conference will be held as a hybrid one. All authors (both the ones who registered for online participation and ones who opted for on-site) will be required to prepare a pre-recorded video presentation that will be available on our online conference platform (instructions will be available soon). The platform will be available through the entire duration of the conference as a video-on-demand service for all participants. Participants can submit questions through the platform and authors will be required to respond before the end of the conference. There will be no specific time for the presentation so participants can view presentation at their own pace.
Participants who will be present in Rome will have a separate (on-site) schedule compiled only from submissions by on-site attending participants. The schedule will be announced after the final registration deadline.
