Additional Information

  • At #RMC, a session (incl. oral presentations) will be held if at least five talks (for lightning sessions: seven talks) are confirmed after official registration for the conference.
    Please refer to the alternative options below for sessions that do not meet this threshold.
  • If a proposed session does not fulfill the minimum requirement of five (seven) talks, the following options are available, in consultation with the organizing team:
    • Merging with another session:
      The session may be merged with one or more sessions of a similar scope in order to reach the minimum number of talks. In this case, the list of (co-)chairs will be adjusted accordingly, and the session title and abstract may be modified or combined into a new session proposal.
    • Shared session slot:
      Instead of merging, sessions with a similar topic may share the same time and location slot. These sessions will be scheduled consecutively within the same block. Each set of (co-)chairs will continue to manage their own session independently; however, the total time available will be divided proportionally among the sessions. All session titles and abstracts will remain distinct. The aim is to encourage cross-participation among the audiences of the related sessions.
  • A poster session will be scheduled independently from the oral sessions if at least four poster presentations are confirmed after official registration. If fewer than four posters are registered, the poster presentations will be incorporated into the corresponding oral session and presented at the end of the talks.
  • At #RMC, the (co-)chairs are responsible for reviewing the abstracts submitted to their sessions. The final review decisions must be confirmed by the chair and are subject to approval by the organizing committee.
  • The final duration and scheduling of each session will depend on the number of registered participants and logistical constraints. The organizing committee reserves the right to make final adjustments as necessary.
  • By submitting a session proposal as a chair, you acknowledge and accept that organizational decisions made by the organizing committee take precedence over individual requests.
