Call for Mini-symposium

Call for mini-symposium submission deadline: 30 September 2026

Guidelines

The UKACM2027 conference welcomes the latest advancements in computational methods across applied sciences and engineering. We are particularly interested in proposals for Mini-Symposia that explore emerging areas, enriching the scope of applications.

Here are the guidelines for proposing and organising Mini-Symposia:

• Each Mini-Symposium comprises a minimum of one 90 mins session, accommodating six presentations of 15 minutes each. It should be a mixture of academics, postdoc and PhD students. 

• The number of sessions for a Mini-Symposium is determined by the number of accepted presentations. It cannot be divided into parallel sessions.

• A Keynote Talk session is permissible for every full session. If the keynote talk is included, the whole session will be a 30-minute keynote talk followed by four 15-minute standard presentations.

• Two Invited Talk sessions are permissible for every full session.  Each invited talk session will last 15 minutes as well. 

• Every Mini-Symposium designates a Corresponding Organiser who acts as the liaison with the Conference Secretariat. The Mini-Symposium organisers may also speak as part of their respective Mini-Symposium. You are also welcome to ask one or more co-organisers to assist you in these tasks. 

The deadline for submission of proposals for Mini-Symposia is 30 September 2026.

Please submit your Mini-Symposia proposal direct to:

ukacm2027@glasgow.ac.uk. 

Please ensure that you prepare your one-page proposal using the conference template.
