NEW DIGITAL FORMAT
The programme overview of the Symposium is structured in 4 parallel tracks of sessions.
The traditional oral sessions will be organized as a set of oral presentations, followed by a moderated live discussion in which speakers will answer the questions received by the attendees in the Q&A box. Workshops are primarily focused on open discussion among participants, so they will be highly interactive live-streamed sessions, during which attendees can join the debate with camera and microphone. The sessions will be opened by short introductory lectures that will kick-start the critical discussion among participants.
The new "Meet the Expert" sessions are live sessions featuring keynote speeches delivered by highly reputed scientists who will examine specific topics in great depth and answer questions from delegates. During the "In the Ring" sessions two speakers will discuss a controversial topic on which they have diametrically opposite views, highlighting pros and cons of the issue. A moderator will manage the discussion and introduce questions from the audience in order to fuel the debate.
The Science Slam is dedicated to young scientists who will have the opportunity to present their projects and research works in a captivating way. A jury made up of leading experts will vote for the best presentation and will also be available for comments and suggestions for the researchers.
The daily programme with full details on speakers, presentations and timetables will be published in the coming days.

The technical tours of this digital edition, will be organized as virtual tours inside the plants, in live streaming or with pre-recorded videos. They will be coordinated by experts in the field of waste to energy and will take place in the presence of the Technical Directors of the different plants, who will be available at the end of the visit to answer the questions of the participants.
The Virtual Technical Tours will allow for live interaction between speakers and participants: using the Q&A tool, delegates will be able to send questions which will be answered live by the coordinators and the Technical Directors. Technical visits to the following plants are already confirmed:
- Cadino plant - Anaerobic digestion, Compost, Biogas production (IT)
- Bolzano Waste-To-Energy plant (IT)
