Each seminar lasts for up to 60 minutes. The speaker's presentation lasts for 45 minutes. There are one or two discussants that speak first after the paper to spur the debate, followed by questions from the audience. Each seminar is moderated by the session host.
Only the speaker and (rarely) the discussants will be able to share their screens.
Participants are encouraged to leave their webcams on and to ask their questions during the presentation.
For specific participant types, please see further rules below
All rules are subject to change as we gain experience with the seminar
