Reschedule Presentations and Panel Discussion
Written on 11.11.2025 14:13 by María Martínez-García
Dear Students,
Due to the illness of the three presenters scheduled for today’s session, we have decided to cancel and postpone the first block sessions by one week. This means that the paper presentations of the first block will take place on November 18, and the panel discussion on November 25, at the usual time slot.
Remember that you can reach out to get feedback on your presentations, but please do so at least one week before your presentation to ensure we can schedule a session and you have time to incorporate the feedback.
We’ve also noticed some confusion regarding submissions, so here’s a clarification:
- For presentations:
-
Only the presenters need to submit their slides in PDF format.
-
The submission on CMS portal for slides will open a few days before the presentation date, with a deadline on the day of the presentation.
-
Students who are not presenting do not need to submit anything prior to the presentations.
-
- For panel sessions:
-
Only students who did not present in that block are required to submit a question for the discussion. Presenters may submit questions as well, but it is optional, as they will act as panelists.
-
Submission for questions will open the day after the presentations, with a deadline two days before the panel session (Sunday).
-
All questions will be compiled into a single file and uploaded to CMS the day before the panel, so everyone has time to prepare.
-
Remember, the goal of the panel discussions is to engage in a broader conversation about the framework covered during the block. While discussing individual papers is fine, we encourage questions that go further: compare approaches, analyze advantages and limitations, explore practical applications, and consider future research directions. Please do not limit your questions to the specific papers presented.
-
Also, remember that attendance is mandatory, and you may miss no more than two sessions without a valid justification.
Thank you all for your understanding today. See you all next week!
Best,
Your seminar team
