Associate Professor Henrik Bech Seeberg, Aarhus University

Professor Frank Baumgartner, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

- Use a headset with built in microphone if possible.

- Please keep your microphone muted at all times, other than when you are required to speak. This is especially important if you choose not to use a headset, as there can often occur feedback, for example, when there is a dialogue between the Ph.D. student and assessment committee.
