Program and presentations

Last update: 2023-08-30

Presentation guideline

The schedule is relatively flexible, allowing discussion and interaction between the presenter and participants.

  • Each presentation is expected to be about 20 min. We do not have remote sessions.
  • During the presentation, questions and brief discussion from the audience will be accepted.
  • Presentation slides will be collected and shared within the participants. If you include slides that cannot be shared, please prepare a reduced version as well.
  • Authors are encouraged to cover the big picture in addition to their own research. For example,
    • Overview of the field. What are left as the open questions? Why are they important/interesting?
    • What will be the desired next measurements/studies? How do they advance our knowledge?
    • Interdisciplinary aspects. For example, place your study in the context of the plasma-surface-exosphere-dust interaction aspects.
    • Identify links to future lunar/planetary exploration.
    • How can we disseminate our own studies or these fields to the other stakeholders?
