“…Similarly, Walton et al (2022), in a mixed-methods investigation of participation in a STEM academic conference, found that online formats improved diversity and inclusion by created a less hierarchical environment. However, as Johnston et al (2023) point out, the heterogeneity of studies to date that evaluate online modalities reduces the clarity of the overall picture. Furthermore, in recent comparison of participation across in-person, virtual, and 'chat-only' formats, Jarvis et al (2023, p. 818) found that "men continued to take a disproportionate amount of time and space in Q&A sessions.…”

The paper investigates participation and engagement during an online medical education conference by examining delegate interactions in the parallel chat function of the video platform. Although much is known about the experiential nature of online conferencing, we know far less about what actually happens in the live unfolding chat itself. We collected 813 unique messages from the parallel chat of an online conference. Speakers presented from a ‘digital backstage’ to the ‘Main Stage’ while delegates watched and chatted. We used descriptive statistics to summarize message/chat content in terms of participant categories (conference team member, speaker, or delegate, gender) and topic. We also developed a coding scheme based on the conversation analysis to understand the interactional function of messages and their connectedness to other messages. Overall, 23% of delegates participated in the chat, mostly commonly posting positive assessments (“Wonderful talk!”) and appreciations (“Thank you!”). Other actions included questions and answers, agreement, information-giving, statements, and suggestions. Qualitative analysis provided insights into how participants engaged directly with Main Stage presentations. We suggest that to better understand engagement in video conferencing, analysis should focus on actual participation and its content, rather than (or at least supplementary to) post-hoc reports and surveys. Data are in British and Australian English.

“…The COVID-19 era has been a very demanding and challenging period for all individuals, including paediatric health professionals, newborns, children and parents ( 2 ). Moreover, it has highlighted the value of multi-disciplinary international scientific cooperation and medical education, including online learning using virtual, hybrid teaching modes ( 3 ). Paediatric viral infections continue to represent an educational, clinical and research field with increasing needs and future perspectives.…”

The present review article presents the key messages of the 8th Workshop on Paediatric Virology organised virtually by the Institute of Paediatric Virology based on the island of Euboea in Greece. The major topics covered during the workshop were the following: i) New advances in antiviral agents and vaccines against cytomegalovirus; ii) hantavirus nephropathy in children; iii) human rhinovirus infections in children requiring paediatric intensive care; iv) complications and management of human adenovirus infections; v) challenges of post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) syndrome in children and adolescents; and vi) foetal magnetic resonance imaging in viral infections involving the central nervous system. The COVID-19 era requires a more intensive, strategic, global scientific effort in the clinic and in the laboratory, focusing on the diagnosis, management and prevention of viral infections in neonates and children.
