A session is 90 minutes and we suggest about 4-5 speakers per session.<\/p>\n Workshop proposals should contain a detailed description of the workshop (300-500 words), including what will be learnt from the workshop, for whom the workshop is relevant, and any prior knowledge needed to attend the workshop. Participants of the conference can attend the workshops at no cost. Note that workshop presenters will not be paid or otherwise reimbursed for their presentation of the workshop. RC33 views workshops as an alternative form of discussing a research problem. The workshops are 90 minute sessions for the discussion of a specific topic with one or two stimulating presentations followed by discussions or on-site analysis of data. The aim is to have a more thorough discussion about a topic than in normal sessions, as well as educating the RC33 audience about a topic.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”http:\/\/cyprusconferences.org\/rc33\/submission\/” button_text=”Submit your proposal” _builder_version=”3.25.4″][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row disabled_on=”on|on|on” _builder_version=”3.25.4″ disabled=”on”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25.4″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.25.4″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.25.4″]<\/p>\n We live in an era of \u201calternative news\u201d and \u201cclimate change denial\u201d.

We are also interested in investigating how to educate major stakeholders (e.g. politicians, the Press and the public) to become good consumers of research findings.
