Photos taken on-site

Participants are STRICTLY PROHIBITED from taking photos at the main venue (including the slides for talks and poster contents). Please note that the Secretariat, however, will be taking photos for PR purposes, e.g. to use for Junior Scientist's Program webpage and various reports etc., for which we have asked for permission of usage upon registration. The PR photos taken by the Secretariat shall not show the contents of the poster presentations and will be handled with utmost care when using such photo.

Please also note that the Secretariat will also take non-PR photos to record the event and share memories with the registered participants, screeners, speakers and staff. These non-PR photos will be shared after the event with limited access to those that were at the Autumn School. Please DO NOT share the non-PR photos on SNS or other medias without the consent of the people in the photo. If you have any concerns on-site regarding photography, please inform a nearby staff.
