Satellite Meetings
ISN Satellite meetings are held in conjunction the ISN Biennial meeting and should fulfil the following criteria:
- They should be held in close spatial proximity to the place of the main meeting, i.e., in the same country or in neighbouring countries
- They should take place at a period immediately preceding or following the main meeting
- As far as topics are concerned they should not compete with the main meeting
- The organisers of satellites should encourage their participants to also attend the main meeting
Applications for Satellite meetings are accepted during the proposal submission stage and the final decision is made by the Scientific Committee of the main meeting.
