When I submitted the proposal I hoped the session will be a mix of an invited talk, climate-related contributions submitted to the useR! and an open discussion between R users and researchers. In an online setup, the final session schedule was a bit different. The session lasted almost 2 scheduled hours. Around 130 people joined the session. https://user2020.r-project.org/news/2020/06/18/virtual_conference/ Thu, 18 Jun 2020 10:40:00 +0000 https://user2020.r-project.org/news/2020/06/18/virtual_conference/ We are excited to share our plans for a useR! 2020 series of events this July to replace the cancelled useR! 2020 Conference (St. Louis) and the useR! 2020 European Hub (Munich).
