Dialogue sessions aim to stimulate discussion and debate around a particular thematic focus. These sessions are proposed by an external session organizer / chair with pre-agreed speakers. Dialogue sessions can be conceived to maximize audience participation. The session organizer can propose the precise format of the session, which could be a panel, a sequence of speakers, a debate or workshop. Submission of full papers is not required for dialogue sessions.
Dialogue Sessions durate 60 or 90 minutes. They will come in a variety of formats as determined by the session conveners. Contributors will be contacted by the conveners of their session for details on presentation length and discussion format. The conveners will be in contact with the local organizing team on the specific requirements for their session.
