Frequently Asked Questions

LECTURES
How will the lectures be streamed?
We will use the Zoom platform (free usage).
Will the talk be recorded?
Yes, we will record each lecture, using Zoom's record function. The video will be freely available afterward. We have not decided yet which video platform we will use to release the lecture, but it is possible we will simply use Youtube.
How will I get the Zoom link of the lectures?
We will send the Zoom link, shortly before the lecture. It will also be available on the Slack channel of the conference. It is important that you do not disclose this link to anyone outside the conference. The number of participants is indeed close to the maximum number of available connections. In addition, if a Zoom link is publicly available, it might be hijacked by "Zoom exhibisionists" or political activists.
How will I be able to ask a question after a lecture?
With close to 500 participants, you will not be allowed to ask a question directly to the speaker. However, you will have the possibility to write any question in the Slack channel dedicated to the lecture. A few of these questions will be read by the moderator at the end of the lecture, and answered by the speaker. The speaker will then have the opportunity to answer the rest of the questions in writing on the Slack channel.

HANDS-ON SESSIONS
What are hands-on sessions?
Hands-on sessions are short projects that small groups of participants (5 to 8 people) work on together, for the duration of the school. There is a diversity of topics. Each project will be supervised by two to three researchers. There will be a small presentation by each team, the last day of the school.
Who will participate to hands-on sessions?
PhD students and postdocs, who have checked the "hands-on session" box when they registered, will participate to hands-on sessions.
How will I choose a hands-on project?
We will send a list of projects soon. Each selected participant will then choose a few topics and rank them. We will then distribute the students among the different projects, trying to satisfy your preferences.

MISCELLANEOUS
Will I get a certificate of attendance, at the end of the school?
Yes, we will deliver certificates of attendance.
My country is banned by Slack, how do I get the Zoom link and ask questions?
If you are in a country banned by Slack (Iran, Sudan, etc.), and that VPN is not an option, we will send you the Zoom links by email. You will have the opportunity to ask questions by email, during the talk.
What is the time zone of the program?
Central European Summer Time (CEST).
