The chat option is disabled for all EPSC2020 Zoom webinars. Please use the Q&A option in Zoom if you would like to submit a question to the panellist(s)/speaker(s) of the event. However, please be aware that most sessions are only 20 minutes and time for questions may be very limited. Note that a commenting option is available from 21 September to 9 October for the purpose of discussions regarding the sessions or individual presentations. This is available not only for each individual presentation but also a general commenting thread for each session in the programme.
Note that all EPSC2020 webinars are being recorded and later published on the conference website and will be open access.
For live transcription of the webinar in a separate window, please activate "Custom Live Streaming Service" during the Zoom webinar.
