I'm looking for an English word which would replace "a seminar/conference talk where each co-author of the paper gives approximately one half of the talk" which may or may not exist.

    The talk is a talk, no matter how many people deliver it. You could say it was co-authored or co-delivered I guess, but it's still just a talk.

    I'm not sure about the "talk" part since I know those events as presentations so maybe co-presenters would work? Commented Nov 5, 2014 at 16:54

    There is no such word, because the rare need for it can be handled by a short phrase such as "the co-authors shared the presentation of the talk"

As mentioned below, one wouldn't really need a word for this phenomenon - the phrase "shared conference presentation," or the longer "conference talk in which both my co-author and I presented" would work.

Any more specific term for what you are doing would necessarily have to come from the form of your presentation: dialogue if it's a conversation, debate if it's a confrontation (which, given that you are co-authors of a paper, I should hope this is not the case).
