Guidelines for Session Organisers, Chairs, Presenters and Discussants

1. An organiser can submit more than one Invited Paper Session (IPS).

2. Each individual can present only one paper as an oral presenter during the Regional
Statistics Conference. Exceptions will be granted only in unusual circumstances and
requests must be approved by the Chair of the Scientific Programme Committee. All
requests should be sent to isi2026@um.edu.mt.

3. A co-author of a paper being presented by someone else is not counted as a presenter.
Hence it is possible for an individual to be a co-author of multiple papers being presented
at the Regional Statistics Conference.

4. Participation as Chair or Discussant is not counted as participation as Presenter.

5. An individual can serve as a Chair or a Discussant in more than one session provided that
there is no scheduling conflict.

6. Within the same session, any individual, including the Session Organiser, can take up the
role of either Presenter or Chair or Discussant, but should not assume any two such roles.

7. All Organisers, Chairs, Presenters and Discussants of any session must be registered
delegates of the Regional Statistics Conference and pay registration before the early bird
deadline. Exceptions may be granted to Organisers who are unable to attend, but not to
individuals in any of the other roles.

8. All Organisers, Chairs, Presenters and Discussants of any session are responsible to
apply for and obtain their visas on time.
