What is the platform?
We use ZOOM (c) for this online-seminar series. Attendees have to register to be able to join the conference room. Cameras and microphones will be inactive for the attendees.
Why do you need to register?
We want to know who is interested in the seminar, to measure the impact of this seminar series. Personal data will not be shared, only location information will be evaluated. Also the link you receive will be unique, so we don't have an open seminar room.
How does the questioning period work?
There is a hand wave button when you join as an attendee. Once you klick it the moderator will un-mute you and you can ask your question. Alternatively you can leave your question in the chat and the moderator will read it to the speaker.
Will the seminars be available on demand?
Each session will be recorded, if the speakers agree to do so. The recording will be available for 24 h and registration will be asked again. This hopefully allows people to participate who have other commitments or live in another time zone.
Who moderates the webinars?
This online-seminar series was initiated by Dominik Munz and Christian Hering-Junghans as a way to help the community. Both will act as moderators but on the other hand also present their own work.
