Symposia
What
A symposium is a session where multiple thematically relevant talks are grouped together to foster discussions from a broader perspective. A symposium will be 90 minutes long and consist of 4 talks of 12 minutes each with 3 minutes for discussion followed by a longer 15-minute discussion session.
When & Where
All symposia will take place in person at MOBI 2024, June 2nd-5th.
How
If you would like to submit a symposium as the chair, please submit
1) a tentative title and first author for all four associated talks and
2) a brief description of the overall topic and each individual not to exceed 250 words.
as an email to mobiconference@proton.me
The abstract must be written in English. Please do not use graphics or linking. In addition, please make sure that each symposium includes at least one contribution from a young scientist and that several research institutions are represented. We additionally encourage, if possible, to ensure gender balance. The chairing of a symposium can be done alone or in pairs - with the condition that at least one chair already holds a PhD.
After being notified that your symposium was accepted, all four talks within the symposium must be submitted as Talks (See Talks & Posters tab)
If your symposium is rejected, you may resubmit the individual sessions as talks or posters.
