Symposia

The proposals for Symposia can be submitted by both individual members and by National Societies. We encourage proposals on topics that capture the imagination and interest from a wide audience and that bring together experts from different countries (including top scientists from outside of Europe). It is important to note that there is no funding available from the FESN for delegates invited to speak at a symposium. Financial support from the National Societies FESN Symposia is highly appreciated. Proposals should include:

• The title and abstract of the symposium
• The name of the organizer and the 4 speakers of the symposium (speakers must represent more than one country)
• The affiliations of the organizer and the speakers
• The 4 abstracts of the speakers composing the symposium
