Description
Summary:[...]numerous interactions occur via forums and are, in many cases, numerous and more informal and flexible than at classical scientific meetings [10]. [...]we do not have to worry about the bandwidth like we do at real-time conferences. [...]people in places that might not have very good or reliable internet connectivity can also participate. [...]the cost of organizing a non–real-time web conferences is lower than for other scientific events. [...]an experienced organizing committee (supported by an expert information technology [IT] team, see Rule 3) makes this task easier.
