Video Capture Permission

We want to inform speakers that Inria will ensure video-sound recording of the talks. A playlist will then be made available and linked to the Inria video platform and QBI society website. To allow recording of speakers, though, according to french law on privacy we have to obtain from each speaker an informed consent to the Inria and QBI society for recordings and images. A “Video Capture Permission Form” is available for downloading below. We shall submit this form for signature during Registration or before the sessions, to be authorized to proceed.

The video-sound recording will not be used in any way for commercial purposes, but they can be used in electronic media, including the Internet to give account of the research activity during the conference, and to allow researchers who were unable to come, to take advantage of this opportunity to have access to relevant research achievements. These images and recordings will be preserved in the Inria and QBI society archives.
