The format of the symposia allows organizers a more intimate environment and flexibility to focus in great details on emerging fields and to pilot new ideas on how the conference is run.

To be considered, potential Special Symposium Chairs should submit a proposal that includes the details as noted below:

Organizers:
Please include the name, affiliation, country, email address, and a brief biography for each co-chair and subcommittee member.
