Call for Young Investigator Colloquia Speakers

To increase the number of formal oral presentations from young investigators, 12 to 16 Young Investigator Colloquia will be offered, which we invite young scientists to apply as speakers. Speakers will receive a registration fee waiver and significant financial support in respect to their travel expenses and costs of accommodation.

The suggested topics can be found at the Congress website. Outstanding speakers in other areas will be considered as speakers.

The Program Committee will select four speakers for each colloquium. Thirty minutes will be available for each contribution. Preference will be given to independent young investigators. The candidates should be either below 40 years of age, or less than 10 years after PhD. With the application, candidates should provide:

1. Session title (either from the list or "unassigned")
2. The title of their contribution
3. A one-page abstract
4. A one-page CV
5. List of publications in the last three years

Call for Symposia Topics

Members and non-members are invited to make proposals for symposia detailing:

1. The topic
2. The Chairperson responsible
3. Four possible speakers, with very short CVs and a selection of a maximum of 5 publications for each speaker.
4. The reason why the topic of the symposium is important

The organizers and speakers can expect a registration fee waiver and significant financial support in respect to their travel expenses and costs of accommodation.

Call for Workshops Topics

In addition to the Symposia, Workshops will be held in the Joint ISN/ASN Meeting. Workshops should not be mini-symposia, and exchange of ideas among the attendants is encouraged. They should focus on new experimental approaches or conflicting issues. Some support will be provided to organizers and speakers. The applicants should send:

1. The topic
2. The responsible Chairperson
3. The reason why the topic of the workshop is important
And in addition,
4. The applicants should describe how they are going to run the workshop to meet the above requirements

Call for Satellite Symposia Topics

Those who are interested in organizing Satellite Symposia should submit a detailed description of the symposium with full scientific content and list of speakers enabling the Program Committee to evaluate the proposal.
