Policy on Remote Participation

RTSS’25 is an in-person conference (i.e., it is not a hybrid conference), but exceptions can be made for authors on a case-by-case basis according to the following TCRTS guidance:

In-person presentations are expected. However, if an author has a valid reason why neither they nor their co-authors can attend the conference in person, then exceptions can potentially be made at the discretion of the Program Chair. Authors who know in advance that this will apply to them, for example because they cannot get a visa for the host country, should contact the Program Chair prior to paper submission.

Following existing TCRTS policy, one author will be required to register for the conference at the “in-person” rate (either student or full) in any case.

Please contact the track chairs by email via rtss25-track-chairs@mpi-sws.org if you would like to inquire about a possible exception or in case of any questions.

US Travel and Visa Situation

The conference organizers are aware of recent reports about changing US border control and visa policies and their enforcement, and are closely monitoring the situation.

At this point, no specific policies have been announced by RTSS. (Update 2025-05-01: there is now a policy.) We would like to assure all authors that we will find solutions in the case that any travel complications arise.

In case of questions, please contact the general and program chairs.
