ORGANIZATIONAL ASPECTS AND HOW TO PARTECIPATE
The meeting is structured in four thematic sessions and a concluding panel discussion, coordinated and chaired by dedicated presidents, who will introduce and moderate the intervention of participants and their discussions, taking care of time schedule and content compliance.
Each session will be introduced by invited keynote speakers, who will have assigned opening speeches, with an aim to circumscribe and contextualize in a critical manner themes discussed and to preside the next debate.
For each of these four sessions as for the final panel discussion there will be a possibility to submit a proposal for participation, in the manner set forth in the call for papers. The selected participations will be presented by the Authors during conference, after the introductory reports, in summary form, and for a period not longer than 10 minutes, based on an abstract previously shared among all participants. The synthesis of selected interventions will be followed by a broad discussion, which will include everyone interested.
The panel discussion that will take place in the afternoon of the third day, will provide an opportunity to final summary of the issues discussed previously and a further opportunity to discuss the prospects of the meeting; after an introductory report and synthetic speech of selected contributions, the discussion will be open to all the speakers and – to everyone interested and previously booked during conference.
During 20 days that precede this meeting, once disclosed the abstracts collected by call for papers, we will give the opportunity to all interested, to suggest additional questions and brief interventions online, in order to submit them during debate; both within thematic sessions as well as during the final panel discussion, upon evaluation of their relevance and usefulness (see below the paragraph: “On line collection of questions and brief interventions”).
The outcomes of the meeting, of discussions and panel discussion will be fully filmed and will be available to interested parties both through the website and networks of this event as well as during the final edition of the meeting, organized, as in past editions, by the publishing house Editorial Service System for Dià Cultura Foundation.
There are no participation fees for speaker and the organization shall not give any refunds.
