UNU Code of Conduct
All participants at the conference are reminded that ICEGOV is a scientific and academic event, which is bound by the UNU Code of Conduct to Prevent Harassment at UNU Events. Conference participants, peer reviewers and speakers take part in their personal capacity and not as representatives of their governments or employers. As such, no political stances or remarks may be made by the participants or speakers during the conference sessions, including during paper presentations. This includes remarks in favour of or against political parties and stances regarding ongoing military or non-military conflicts. If such a situation occurs, the session chairs or moderators shall interrupt the participant to remind them that such behaviour and remarks will not be tolerated.
Instructions
1. Ensure that you know when and where you have chairing duties. This information was conveyed by email and is available on the online conference programme.
2. Familiarise yourself with the papers beforehand and prepare a couple of questions for each paper in case the audience has no questions. You may coordinate with your co-chair to do this. You will receive the papers by email one week before the conference.
3. Start the session on time and call each author by the correct order for presentation. If an author is missing, go to the next. The missing author should be given another opportunity to present once all other papers have been presented.
4. Ensure that each presentation does not exceed the time limit: 15 minutes + 5 minutes for Q&A.
5. Ensure all presenters sign the presence sheet at the end of the session. For remote presentations, you can sign on behalf of the author. You and your co-chair, if any, must sign it as well.
6. If, during the session, any presenter does not respect the UNU Code of Conduct, kindly ask them to stop that behavior. If the behavior persists, stop the session and request the presence of someone from the Organising Committee or Volunteer to assist you.
