## Programme

Here are the sessions and the talks in each, in the order they run. **Click any talk to read its abstract.** All times are CEST (UTC+2), and everything runs in a single track, so nothing clashes. A time marked TBC is still awaiting the speaker's confirmation and may shift by a few minutes.

## Joining the sessions
## Recordings

Everything runs on Google Meet. We will email joining details to everyone who has registered in the week before the conference, so use an email address you check.

Live captions are on in every session. If anything else would help you take part, tell us on the registration form, and we will do what we can.

Recordings of the talks whose speakers opted in are on the [FORRT YouTube channel](https://youtube.com/@forrtproject9995), with one playlist per day: [Monday](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLS3VdaYKcrew), [Tuesday](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSItTTcc91ac) and [Wednesday](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZYxy57rykQU). The **Watch** links in the programme above open each talk.
The talks whose speakers agreed to publication are on the [FORRT YouTube channel](https://youtube.com/@forrtproject9995), with one playlist per day: [Monday](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLS3VdaYKcrew), [Tuesday](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSItTTcc91ac) and [Wednesday](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZYxy57rykQU). Talks without a **Watch** link in the programme were not recorded or are not public. For two of the Wednesday workshops, the playlist has a shorter version.

## Code of conduct

Everyone taking part, whether presenting or watching, follows the [FORRT code of conduct](https://forrt.org/coc/).

During the conference, raise a concern with the organising committee — message a session chair or the organiser, or email [l.wallrich@bbk.ac.uk](mailto:l.wallrich@bbk.ac.uk). We will act on it the same day. Afterwards, or if you would rather not come to us, report it to the FORRT ethics committee, either by contacting any of its members or through the [anonymous reporting form](https://forms.gle/nQ51x1c8a8nnfQ7a9). FORRT's [confidential advisor](https://forrt.org/about/confidential-advisor-ombuds/) is there if you would like to talk something through first.
