The event concluded on April 21st, thank you for participation. Please notice that all videos are available linked in the program.
Exact details from the Web Conference organizers have been slow in coming and we suspect you have questions and concerns about how the workshop will work. We both share those concerns and thank you for your patience in this difficult time.
Below we have provided direct links to videos for each presentation. You are welcome to watch the videos asynchronously.
It is our understanding the Web Conference organizers will also play them on Zoom according to the schedule listed (all times are for April 21 in the Taipei Taiwan Time zone). We encourage all authors to join the Web Conference Zoom at the time for your presentation if you are able. We the organizers will try to join for the Welcome 9-9:15 and the Closing remarks 17-17:30. Everyone should have received Zoom access information (passwords and instructions to use your registration number) directly from the Web Conference. We know that this information was just sent out *and* that many people around the world are dealing with many things. If authors are unable to join at the time listed, we understand and ask all attendees for your understanding as well.
A few notes: 1) In some cases the videos provided by authors are shorter than the time slot listed below in the schedule. We believe the Web Conference will play each video at the correct start time. If there are authors and attendees in the Zoom room, we encourage everyone to ask questions and discuss in between videos. 2) When the schedule below lists a time for Q&A/Discussion, if there are authors and attendees in the Zoom room, we encourage everyone to ask questions and discuss.
We thank you for your interest in FATES. We hope you will be able to enjoy the excellent papers and videos prepared by the authors and our distinguished key note speaker – whether that is during the Web Conference itself or asynchronously. We also hope you will consider joining us for the live Q&A/Discussion session if you can.
Thank you for your patience in this difficult time.
