Call for Symposia

Deadline for proposals : Thursday, April 16th 2021

Symposia at Europhysiology 2022 are to consist of one or two organisers, who will also act as the Chair(s), and who will not be included as speakers. Two senior leaders in the field should be nominated as speakers, with each allocated 30 minutes, together with two early-career speakers, with each allocated 15 minutes. The total length of each symposium will be 1.5 hours. Early-career nominees should be at the PhD or Postdoc level, or in their first non-professorial faculty position.

We welcome, and encourage, submissions from all countries, not just from colleagues working in Europe. 

Each symposium will have the following format: 

• Senior (30 min)
• Early-career (15 min)
• Early-career (15 min)
• Senior (30 min)

The organiser(s) may select the early-career speakers from the submitted abstracts in June 2022.
There will be 18 symposia in total across the three days. 
Each symposium can be funded to a maximum of €2,000 Euro to cover travel, accommodation and registration of speakers who are not members of any of the hosting societies (FEPS, TPS, SPS, DPG). It is the expectation of the Scientific Programme Committee that organisers find funding from additional sources. This support will be acknowledged online and in the printed programme.
All speakers are required to submit an abstract.
When submitting your proposal, please bear in mind the importance of ensuring gender, geographic and career-stage balance.
The societies are committed to increasing equality and diversity in the physiological sciences, and we would like to ask you to be mindful of this commitment when making your suggestions for scientific content.
