SOPhiA 2023

Practical Information

We hold the SOPhiA 2023 as a hybrid event. That means that in addition to the people who can come to Salzburg in person, we will make it possible to participate via videoconference (both for giving presentations and attending other’s talks). The online event will be held via Zoom. All talks and Q&As; will be broadcasted live, such that every physical room is assigned a separate Zoom room. It will also be possible to participate in the Q&A; via Zoom.
The conference confirms to the COVID-19 safety measures for public events according to the latest standards. More detailed information on registration, the hybrid format, and COVID safety will be provided in due course.
