Both the video and the slides are important supplementary material to help explaining and promoting your research within the community and to the general public. Workshop paper authors should consult their respective workshop chair regarding their presentations.

The presentation videos of accepted papers will be played during the virtual symposium and posted in the IEEE EuroS&P YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGnPU4Mf3k_vmX-0GCx9GNA/) after the symposium, with the consent of the presenters.
