From henry.kammler at lmu.de Wed Aug 12 10:15:14 2020 From: henry.kammler at lmu.de (Kammler, Henry (LMU)) Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2020 10:15:14 +0200 Subject: [AIW41 - speakers] Will you go virtual with us? In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Dear confirmed AIW41 presenters, we hope all of you are doing well inspite of the multiple challenges this COVID-19-crisis has been causing for months. While we kept hoping we could hold an in-person workshop in Munich at the end of November, this turns out to have been magical thinking. Now, instead of cancelling the AIW for the first time in its history, we would like to invite you to help us organize our *yearly* meeting with the technical means at our disposal, which is, to hold it in Cyberspace. At this time we would like to invite your feedback on a little survey (to: henry.kammler at lmu.de) whether you would be willing to give your paper and hold the discussion via video feed, considering the following changes: - Depending on the number of presentations we will hold the AIW on up to 5 consecutive days (with 2?3 sessions per day, 30 min time slots per paper incl. discussion) in the last week of November. - In order to accommodate our colleagues from the American continent, all sessions will be in the afternoon/evening of Central European Time CET (e.g. 3pm corresponds to 9am EST and 6am PST). - There will be a small fee still to be determined (we?ll have to pay assistants with virtual room managament and for the registration account administration). Those of you who had already registered with the orignal fee will be reimbursed accordingly. Looking forward to your answers and hopefully seeing you in November, although, alas!, without the usual get-togethers accompanied by local food and beverages. Stay safe!
