3. Can a paper under review be part of the 'Best Student Paper' competition?
The paper may be published, submitted , or neither. It would, of course, be nice to have it published in Extremes.
4. I've not received a confirmation email for my registration / proposal / file upload / payment...?
You should recieve an automated email of confirmation. You can email us with any queries.
5. Do I need a Zoom License to take part?
Whilst the event is hosted in Zoom, you do not need a license to take part in EVA 2021, either as a presenter or a participant. ICMS will host the call and you will join. You can join the call via the free app (downloadable here - choose "Zoom client for meetings") or via browser - although we recommend the app where possible for reliability.
While you can definitely join the call on a home computer, most institutions that do not have/support Zoom are happy for their employees to join Zoom events on their work computer. However, you should check with your home institution in advance that this is allowed.
6. How many slides should my preview / talk be?
Your previews and talks can be as many slides as you wish, as long as your presentation does not exceed the time allocated to you.

- Invited talks should be 20 minutes (+ 5 minutes discussion)
- Contributed talks should be 15 minutes (+ 5 minutes discussion)
