CALL FOR SYMPOSIA
43th AGM EBBS Sevilla, Spain -2011
February 21, 2010
Dear EBBS Member,
Our biannual stand-alone Annual General meeting will be held in Sevilla, Spain September 9-12, 2011. The local organising committee, chaired by Agnes Gruart is enthusiastically committed to the organisation of what will be an outstanding scientific event.
The programme will be based upon plenary lectures, 12 symposia and free communications in the form of posters. As a new initiative this year, the winners of EBBS-Seville Awards will be invited to present their work as oral communications.
To have a well-balanced and high scientific quality programme it is most important that the proposals reflect the scientific interests of the EBBS membership. We can only achieve these goals of scientific excellence and membership interest through active participation of EBBS members in formulation of the programme.
The EBBS committee, acting as the programme committee, urges members to submit proposals for symposia on topics of their choice and to encourage colleagues, EBBS members or not, to submit proposals.
Guidelines:
· Symposia may be proposed by EBBS members or non-members, with no geographical restrictions.
· The organizer should be an established researcher.
· Symposia are two hours in length and comprise four speakers.
· Speakers should ideally provide a balanced mix of presentations of a wide, synthesis or reviewing perspective on the topic covering several years of work, and descriptions of some new data, relevant to the topic.
· Symposia having one young speaker at the doctoral/postdoctoral level will be preferred.
· Speakers, and only speakers, receive a free registration. No other financial assistance is available.
Symposia proposals have to be submitted online see / Meetings / Symposium Proposals before June 10, 2010. press here
Selected symposia will be announced in early July 2010.
Sincerely yours,
Verity Brown
EBBS Secretary
