Program

Israel time zone (GMT+3)

The program will run according to the listed times (in Israel), but participants can view the recorded talks at their convenience following the initial presentation. A live discussion will be held at the end of each session, during which questions and comments can be submitted by chat and will be read out by the moderator. The chat for each talk will remain open for the rest of the meeting, such that the audience and speakers can continue to interact at times convenient for them.
