Live Discussions

If a prerecorded talk on YouTube (find the list here) attracts your attention, you can either leave a comment below the video on YouTube, post in the slack channel, or talk to the speaker during a live discussion. In essence we are experimenting with the concept of "inverted classroom" for a large-scale research conference.

Only registered participants will receive the password to the zoom rooms by email.

How does it work?

  • During the live discussions there will be about 15 minutes per speaker (depening on the session).

  • Speakers will start to recall the content of their talk (about 3 minutes). The following free discussion (questions, suggestions, remarks, new ideas) is chaired by the moderator.

  • The sessions will not be recorded.

Everyone is welcome to join the discussions! Just give it a try!
