When does the conference take place?
The Transdisciplinary Engineering TE2020 conference, will be held from 1.07.2020 to 10.07.2020.
Where does the conference take place?
This year we are hosting the entire conference virtually, using the Cisco Webex system.
How to participate actively?
There will be two modes of remote sessions: online and offline. The following events will be held in an online mode: the Opening ceremony, Keynote sessions, the ISTE Council meeting (for ISTE council members), the ISTE Annual General Meeting (AGM) (for ISTE members), and the Closing ceremony.
Offline session will provide access to papers and video-recordings of PowerPoint presentations for each of the submitted and accepted papers. Papers are organized in thematic sessions. An offline workshop is included as well. For each of these two options the chat room will be active so that questions and answers can be exchanged.
If a conference delegate, who has paid for his paper and participation, does not participate in the offline session of his own paper, this will be treated as a no-show in the conference, unless he has announced officially via an email to the conference organization that he or she will be replaced by a co-author. If no announcement has been made, the delegate’s paper will NOT be published in the Conference Proceedings by IOS Press.
Who will be entitled?
If you have registered and have paid the conference fee you will be entitled to participate in both online and offline events. In this case also your co-authors will be entitled to participate in all conference events for free!

How to post a question during online session?
During keynote sessions, participants will be allowed to pose questions in a Q&A Panel. These questions will be transferred to the keynote speakers, who will try to answer them at the end of their speech. Questions that cannot be answered during the online session (due to lack of time) will be transferred to an offline session, where the discussion can be continued.
How to enter the Offline Session?

The offline session is are hosted by Webex Teams. This is a different environment than Webex Events used for online sessions. All participants will be given the opportunity to participate in the offline session for the duration of the conference.

In order to access Webex Teams, each time you need to register your account by navigating to the following url: https://teams.webex.com/signin. During the short registration process you have to give your email account and then your password will be delivered by Webex. You should use this email and password for accessing the offline session.
You (each participant) will receive 10 e-mails from Cisco Webex Teams informing about activating different sections of the offline session. But you need to respond only once on one e-mail to form connection with Webex system.
The offline session will provide access to papers and video-recordings of PowerPoint presentations for each of the submitted papers. The papers are organized in thematic sessions and stored in Webex Teams Folders available to you once you have logged in to the system. The offline workshop is included as well.
How to post a question and get an answer during the offline session?
When you drill down to a selected presentation, you will be able to read and download a PDF version of the paper as well as view (with no option to download) a Video presentation. Below the screen, there will be an option to enter the chat room and ask your question. Questions and answers can be exchanged during the entire 10-day conference period; thus your question may not be answered immediately.
