Session programme NNDR25
When looking for your own session:
1) Please, search your name on the document with a search tool. There is a chance that your paper is accepted for another thematic stream than what you applied for.
2) All the session rooms have an inbuilt microphone that can be connected to a hearing aid or CI, and a hearing loop.
3) Check the principles of accessible presentations, here.
4) Check the chair of the session. Unless stated otherwise, the chair of the session is the last person in the session. The chair makes sure that everyone has their 20min time slot (15min for presentation, 5min for questions). The chair can for example let the presenter know that they have 3 minutes left, and when their time is up. They also tell when there is no more time for questions.
5) If your paper is accepted and you are registered, but cannot find your paper in the programme, please be in contact with the conference secretary at nndr2025@helsinki.fi
