eALAN conference 2021 - June 15-June 17, 2021 online
The eALAN conference 2021 will take place in a Gather.town environment designed by Virtual Chair. For
Arranging a 3 day online conference has been a new challenge for us, so we would like to thank all of you for the understanding you've shown so far!
All contributed oral presentations at the ALAN conference are pre-recorded. The videos will be available on demand to all participants within the gather.town environment, and will also be streamed as part of "watch parties", where the participants who are present can discuss the talk in the breaks between automatic video plays.
The schedule offers two live sessions per conference day, and we expect that no matter where you live in the world at least one of the sessions should be convenient for you to attend.
The contributed talks are pre-recorded, and can be viewed at any time you choose. The live sessions will be recorded, so you will also be able to watch the invited speaker talks and panel discussions that took place when you could not attend live.The conference room will also stay open for at least half a day after the official conference end, so it will be possible to catch up on anything you missed regardless of where you live.
All eALAN 2020 authors will also be invited to submit a full article based on their results to the International Journal of Sustainable Lighting (IJSL). For more information contact dorin.beu@insta.utcluj.ro
