Format
Time allocation – 60 minutes will be allocated to each paper: (i) 30 minutes for paper presentation, (ii) 15 minutes for discussants’ discussion, (iii) 15 minutes for Q&A (including responses to discussants). It is totally fine with us if you prefer streamlining presentation (less than 30 minutes) to allocate more time on Q&A.
Chat box – To facilitate smooth presentation, we will set up a chat box to allow all panel participants and audience to raise questions (rather than interrupting presenters’ presentation). Presenters can choose any of three options to handle questions (please indicate your preference to chairs before your presentation); (i) have co-authors take care of questions at Chat box, (ii) ask chairs to interrupt and read questions during presentation, (iii) answer questions at the Q&A session or small group meetings.
Co-authors’ participation – Given that presenters have 30 minutes for presentation, we would be grateful if presenters can kindly ask co-authors to participate the conference. We are more than welcome to have your co-authors to participate the workshop. If this is the case, please let us know. We will send an invitation from our side. If co-authors can handle questions raised at the Chat box, this would facilitate the presentation and discussion on the paper.
Small group meetings – During the coffee break and after the second sessions of the day, we will set up zoom meetings for two papers. Presenters, discussants and participants can discuss on the paper after the session. Presenters can also answer questions to discussants in small group meeting . The meetings are aimed to have more bilateral discussion and engagement.
Workshop participants – We can have two sets of participants:
