Each panel runs for 2 hours (120 min), split by the number of speakers (S). The moderator (M) introduces the speakers; time is reserved for the discussant (Dt., if any) and for audience discussion (Dn.). The maximum for a single lecture is 30 minutes (only possible with 3 speakers). Please look up your panel in the programme. Typical splits:
| Panel | Moderator | Each speaker | Discussant | Discussion |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 speakers | 10 min | 30 min | — | 20 min |
| 3 speakers + discussant | 10 min | 25 min | 15 min | ~20 min |
| 4 speakers + discussant | 10 min | 20 min | 15 min | 15 min |
| 5 speakers | 15 min | 15 min | 15 min* | 15 / 30 min* |
| 6 speakers | 18 min | 12 min | 15 min* | 15 / 30 min* |
* If there is no discussant, that time is added to the audience discussion (30 min total).
The working language of presentations is English; the discussion/Q&A may be held in English or Chinese.
每个专题组时长 2 小时（120 分钟），按发言人（S）人数分配：主持人（M）负责介绍发言人，并为评议人（Dt.，如有）及听众讨论（Dn.）预留时间。单场报告最长 30 分钟（仅 3 人组可行）。请在会议议程中查看本组。常见分配：3 人组＝主持 10＋每人 30＋讨论 20（含评议人时每人 25＋评议 15）；4 人组＋评议＝10＋每人 20＋评议 15＋讨论 15；5 人组＝主持 15＋每人 15＋评议 15＋讨论 15（无评议则讨论 30）；6 人组＝主持 18＋每人 12＋评议 15＋讨论 15（无评议则讨论 30）。发言语言为英文；讨论/问答可用英文或中文。
Online participation is via Zoom. Each room has one fixed Zoom meeting for the whole conference. Online participants simply join the Zoom meeting of the room in which their panel is held. The per-room Zoom links (with Meeting ID and passcode) are shown for every panel in the online programme, and online / hybrid presenters also receive them by e-mail.
All times in the programme are Hong Kong time (GMT+8) — please convert to your own time zone and connect a few minutes early.
线上参会使用 Zoom。每个会场在整个会议期间使用同一个固定的 Zoom 会议，线上参会者只需加入自己 panel 所在会场的 Zoom 即可。各会场的 Zoom 链接（含会议号与密码）已列在在线议程中每个 panel 下，线上/混合发言人也会收到邮件通知。议程中所有时间均为香港时间（GMT+8），请自行换算并提前几分钟入会。
A PowerPoint presentation is recommended but not mandatory. An optional slide template is available in the conference materials.
For on-site panels: to keep sessions running smoothly, we kindly ask the moderator or organizer of each panel (or, where there is none, the speakers among themselves) to merge all presentations of the panel into one single PowerPoint file, name it beginning with the panel number (e.g. “05_…”), and bring it on a USB stick on the first conference day to the room where the panel takes place, so it can be copied onto the room laptop in advance.
建议准备 PPT，但非强制。可在会议资料中下载可选的演示模板。线下场次：为使场次顺利进行，敬请每个 panel 的主持人/召集人（若无则由发言人协调）将本组所有 PPT 合并为一个文件，以 panel 编号开头命名（如“05_…”），并于会议第一天用 U 盘带到会场，以便提前拷贝到会场电脑。

The online programme is the authoritative version and may still be adjusted slightly day by day. The conference booklet (the collection of papers handed out at the conference) is now finalized — participants can download the latest version from the WACS 10 Downloads menu (login required).
The booklet is not the final publication. After the conference, revised papers will be published as the official proceedings (e-book, with ISBN); authors will be able to submit their final versions incorporating the discussion and feedback received at the conference.
在线议程为准，可能每日微调。会议手册（现场发放的论文汇编）现已定稿，可在 WACS 10 Downloads 菜单下载最新版（需登录）。手册并非最终出版物：会后将出版正式论文集（电子书，含 ISBN），作者届时可提交结合会议讨论与反馈修改后的最终版本。
We received a very large number of correction requests and have incorporated them into the finalized booklet. Please first download the latest version from the WACS 10 Downloads menu (login required) and check again. If something is still incorrect, please e-mail wacs@china-studies.com — ideally attaching the corrected Word (.docx) file of your paper — or leave us a note in the WACS 10 WeChat group.
我们收到了大量修改请求，均已并入定稿手册。请先在 WACS 10 Downloads 菜单下载最新版（需登录）并重新核对。如仍有问题，请发邮件至 wacs@china-studies.com（最好附上论文的 Word（.docx）文件），或在 WACS 10 微信群留言。
Travel grants are awarded to students without an income. Doctoral candidates count as students for this purpose — but only if they have no earnings. The rule has been applied unchanged for ten years.
The decisive question is therefore not the academic degree but the income. A doctoral candidate on a scholarship that merely covers living costs is eligible; a doctoral candidate who is also employed is not. A teaching fellow, assistant or ATER earning, say, €1,200 a month does not meet the criterion, however excellent the paper may be.
Two conditions must be met together: the paper must reach the academic threshold in the double-blind review, and the applicant must be without an income. Reaching the threshold alone does not create an entitlement.
See Travel Grants for the full rules.
旅费资助面向没有收入的学生。就此而言，博士候选人视同学生——但前提是没有收入。此项规则十年来未曾更动。
因此，决定性的不是学位，而是收入。仅领取维持基本生活之奖学金的博士生符合条件；同时受雇者则不符合。担任教学助理、助教或 ATER 并每月领取约 1200 欧元者，不符合评定标准，无论论文多么优秀。
两项条件须同时满足：论文在双盲评审中达到学术分数线，且申请人没有收入。仅达到分数线并不构成请求权。完整规定请见旅费资助页面。
