Full symposia Proposals:
The symposia provide the opportunity to examine specific research issues, societal needs and concerns, and other related topics from various perspectives. The total time of 1.5 hours can be divided between two established investigators in the field (each allocated 20 minutes) and two early-career researchers (each allocated 15 minutes). Early-career researchers should be PhD students or postdocs or hold a non-professorial position at the faculty level. The symposia needs a chair and co-chair. The chair should set the scene for the symposia by briefly explaining the topic's background before presenting his/her data. There should be 20 minutes for Q&A in the form of a panel discussion (all four speakers) at the end of the presentations. Organisers and speakers will be expected to register for the Conference.
The proposal should include the following:
Title of symposia
A summary of the topic and what the speakers are expected to address (max 400 words)
Suggested speakers (incl. name, affiliation and contact information). Speakers should already have agreed to participate.
Proposed Chair and co-chair (incl. name, affiliation and contact information)
