9th International
Interdisciplinary
Conference on the
Environment
London / England
2003 CONFERENCE
PROGRAM
************************************************************************************
Session Time Allocations: Each session is 90 minutes long. Each presenter should take no more
than 20 minutes and, for each paper discussion, discussants should take no more
than 5 minutes. The remaining time should be available for open discussion.
Session Chairs: Assume overall
responsibility for your session. Make an effort to contact the session
participants before the meeting. Inform them that each presentation room will
be equipped with an overhead projector. Ask them if they have any special needs
relating to their presentation and/or discussion. Arrive at the session room 10
minutes in advance and make sure that it is properly equipped. Welcome and
introduce the participants. Start the session on time and adhere to the time
schedule. Discussants should follow presenters. Moderate the open discussion to
the best of your ability.
Presenters: Stay within the allotted time even though it may not be enough! Be well
prepared. For audio-visual equipment other
than overhead projectors, which will be provided in all meeting rooms, contact
the Conference Registration Desk. You must have your session number, day, and
time before equipment can be reserved. All arrangements and charges for such
equipment are your responsibility. Please do not just read your paper. Your
presentation of main points, methods, and conclusions should lead to a fruitful
discussion during and after the session. Make available copies of your paper.
Discussants: Be prepared to offer your "positive" remarks first. Then offer
any "negative" remarks in a constructive way. Stay within the
allotted time. If you cannot meet your commitment, please make an effort to
find a substitute discussant, and contact the registration desk as well as the
session chair immediately. Please contribute as much as you can to the
discussion of all papers. If the session's chair is absent, the last discussant
listed should take on the role of the chair.
