Pitching presentations for book inclusion
Because of the changed circumstances, we will also be using this online event as the first step in a longer-term process. The October meeting will be the first step towards a book publication on the theme of the meeting. To facilitate rapid and inclusive publication we will be willing to consider flexible formats for this. We hope to be able to work quickly on this so we can present (or even launch) the publication during a special track to be organized at the ATLAS annual conference in Prague, which has been postponed to September 7-10, 2021.
