Meet The Experts

For the online participants of the JCDL, we have prepared "Meet the Experts" sessions described below. The idea of these sessions is to encourage the exchange of thoughts between the invited "experts" and the online participants. In this session, selected "experts" participating on-site will have a moderated informal discussion on research and beyond with the participants online. In this session, the experts will be discussing a topic focussing on their area of research with the participants online via a zoom channel.

These sessions will allow JCDL participants to engage in a focused online discussion with high-level experts:

* The Meet-The-Experts session should not exceed 60 minutes.
* One online moderator is connected via zoom to manage the online discussion
* The session will be in a separate room only with the expert and the moderator
* The session will not be recorded. We want to keep this informal

The session should be as informal as possible and simply allow an informal exchange of thoughts between the experts and interested listeners.
