The symposium presentation is a self-organised seminar of three to four papers on a common topic which are presented within the same session and are in line with the conference's main theme, as well as one or more of the sub-themes. The symposium session lasts 90 minutes.
When applying for a symposium, one person is responsible for submitting the following:
- a general abstract (maximum 250 words) that describes the theme of the symposium and which argues for the importance of it within the framework of the conference;
- an abstract (maximum 250 words) for each of the papers included in the proposed symposium.
