The scientific programme of Venice 2022 included more than 160 presentations, structured in 3 parallel tracks.
The presentations were organised in Oral sessions, Workshops and Poster sessions. Oral sessions lasted 75 min and include 5 presentations (50 min) and a Discussion. Workshops were focused on controversial issues in Waste to Energy; they included a series of introductory lectures for seeding the debate among participants. Posters were made available digitally, offering pre-recorded video presentations, download of the individual posters and online discussion with the Authors.
In addition to these traditional sessions, the Symposium included five plenary Focus Sessions, held in the morning and in the afternoon, dedicated to specific themes of high public interest. A moderator, after a short presentation and statement made by 2-3 experts in the field, will guide the discussion among the experts and the audience. The format and the session settings are similar to a "talk show".
