Symposia

A symposium consists of a group of co-ordinated papers by different authors that address a particular issue or problem. They may include a discussant, who should have read the papers in advance. Proposals for symposia are the responsibility of the co-ordinator, who should supply an overall abstract for the symposium and abstracts for individual papers. There should be no more than four presenters. This may include a discussant but if the papers are shorter the discussant may be in addition. For symposia it is recommended that presenters (including the discussant) should be from different universities/disciplines/countries, i.e., people could be from the same discipline but from different universities or countries, or from different disciplines but from the same university.

Symposia should consist of one session of 60 minutes, but would normally only have one discussant no matter how long the symposium.

Novel formats for symposia, that do not follow these guidelines, but will fit into the 60 minute modules are welcomed, provided the format is clearly stated when submitting the proposal and it is carefully organised.
