For more than the last 20 years study trips have been organized during Linnaeus Eco-tech but this year it will be on line. Therefore, this time it is possible for YOU to submit a virtual field trip (approx. 2 min) presenting your project/plant/facility which will be added in the end of the Eco-Tech 20 programme in the afternoon 25^th November as a digital session for study tours/related videos. 

Choose mp4 as your file format. Send the recoded videos by e-mail, to eco-tech@lnu.se<mailto:eco-tech@lnu.se>, by latest 6^th November 2020.

The entire conference will use the e-meeting platform Zoom. In order to participate, please read the following and see further below for instructions of how to connect and install the Zoom client - we strongly recommend everybody to do that because it will give you much better technical quality.

Links to the sessions will be provided to all registered participants shortly before the conference starts.

Important for all!

• All lectures will be IRL as far as it is possible.
• Links to all zoom rooms will be available shortly before the conference starts. The links will be active 30 mins before the beginning of each lecture or session so that all participants can enter and make sure that everything works.
• The paper presentations are organized in parallel sessions, and each session will be led by a moderator. The papers are either pre-recorded  in advance in order just to be used in the case of Connection problem during the presentation. Send the recoded presentation by e-mail, to eco-tech@lnu.se, by 1 November 2020.
• Please also note that the names and identity of participants will only be visible within the sessions and the same thing goes for the personal identity in the chat rooms.

Questions and support

By reason of the short presentations, the person concerned should contact a speaker directly via his/her email.

Connecting to Zoom

If you do not already have the Zoom client installed on your computer, you will need to make the following steps to install and configure Zoom:

1. Download the Zoom.us software on the device which you will use for the video conference (Windows, macOS, Android or iOS)
2. Test the internet connection and the audio system (microphone + headphones/ speakers) and video (webcam). You can click here to test a Zoom conference meeting. 

Steps for the actual video conference:

1. Accessing the video conferencing link, in the form of https://zoom.us/j/xxxxxxxxxx, which you will find for each session. This will open the already installed application.
2. The authentication in the video conference is done with the email and password previously received from the conference administration.

General recommendations for using Zoom

1. Write your name and institution - eg. John Doe - University of Everywhere. In order to see how to do this please read this.
2. Keep the microphone turned off when you are not speaking, since background noise can be very distracting.
3. In order to talk with the moderators and other speakers try using the chat. Find instructions here.
4. In order to share your screen watch this short tutorial.
5. During a zoom conference you can give more non-verbal feedback - by raising your hand to ask for permission to speak, or by answering yes / no, etc. To see where you can access them, look at the explanatory images here.

For presenters (papers/keynotes) - some tips for better technical quality in recordings

• Set your video resolution to 1920x1080. If you use a mobile phone to record, record in landscape (horizontal) format.
• Use a neutral background and record in good light.
• Place yourself slightly to the left or right of the centre of the frame, and make sure not to have too much air above your head.
• Place your camera at the same level as your head.
• Preferably, use a wired lavalier microphone plugged into your computer or phone. In case you do not have access to a lavalier, use a high-quality USB microphone or a high-quality phone headset. Try to avoid large headsets, as these do not look good on video.
• Avoid using a room witch echo or other disturbing sounds.
• Preferably, do not use a virtual background. In case you record in Zoom with a lit green screen behind you, it is ok to use a virtual background.
• Choose mp4 as your file format

In Kalmar you can feel the wings of history when walking among the beautiful buildings, in the small alleys, and in the town squares. Kalmar is an idyllic town located next to the Baltic Sea and with the island of Öland just a bridge away. In Kalmar, you can enjoy city and nature in the same place. Kalmar Castle and the city park, the university buildings, the paths along the sea – distances are short and within 5–10 minutes you can reach most places. In Kalmar, which to a large part consists of islands, you are always near the sea.

Not far from Kalmar, you will also find Glasriket, where you can see and experience glass and the history of the glassworks.
