Review Process
- A minimum of 3 reviewers will review each tutorial.
- The proposal’s review criteria include originality, significance, timeliness, impact, community interest, attendance in prior years (if applicable), quality, hands-on activity, and clarity.
- Reviews will include actionable feedback related to the length of the tutorials and the organization of the content (for example, suggestions to add and remove some content).
Final Decision
- The selection of tutorials is based on the goal to cover the largest variety of topics
- Allocation of the time slot
- Notification of authors
- The tutorial committee reserves the right to assign a shepherd to some accepted submissions to ensure quality standards.
TERMS & CONDITIONS
- You agree to organize and conduct the tutorial in person in Hamburg by submitting a tutorial proposal.
- Tutorial presenters need to be registered as tutorial attendees.
- We will grant complimentary tutorial passes to a limited number of tutorial presenters:
- Full-day tutorials: at most, 6 presenters
- Half-day tutorials: at most, 3 presenters
- We will provide meeting room facilities and basic technical equipment for the tutorial sessions
- Tutorial presenters will have to bring their laptops and adapters. Hands-on tutorials must be prepared to rely on laptops brought by the participants.
- The tutorial organizers will have to align their program with the tutorial break schedule (morning sessions are from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.; afternoon sessions are from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., with coffee breaks and lunch in between). Catering during coffee and lunch breaks will be provided to all registered tutorial attendees.
- Tutorial organizers are responsible for submitting the relevant material to attendees (working materials). This material includes, but is not limited to, slides, teaching material, software installation, and usage guides for hands-on sessions. The tutorial organizers agree to release this material to the tutorial attendees.
- Presentation slides and working material will be available in the event platform (Swapcard) for registered attendees.
TRAVEL SUPPORT
In general, ISC does not cover travel, accommodation, registration fees, and other costs. But tutorial presenters from academia may receive travel support as follows:
| Max. travel funding per person | Germany | Europe | Others |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-day tutorial | 175 Euro | 300 Euro | 500 Euro |
| Half-day tutorial | 150 Euro | 250 Euro | 400 Euro |
Travel support will be provided for up to two presenters from academia for half-day tutorials and up to four presenters from academia for full-day tutorials. Presenters conducting two half-day tutorials will be considered equivalent to full-day tutorial presenters. All requests for travel funding need to be included in the tutorial proposal.
