ON-LINE SUBMISSION FOR SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMME IS CLOSED!
The scientific programme of the 7th FENS Forum of European Neuroscience to be held in Amsterdam on July 3-7, 2010 will consist of plenary lectures, symposia, technical workshops and poster presentations. Individual scientists have had the opportunity to propose both symposia and technical workshops to the Programme Committee till the first week of March 2009.
The Programme Committee is in charge to prepare the scientific programme, which will be posted on the Forum website in July 2009.
Details on the process of submission and its requirements, and on the tasks of the Programme Committee will remain available hereafter as general information, but note that the submission of proposals is closed.
SYMPOSIUM AND TECHNICAL WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
Symposia
They will last 1 hour 30 minutes with 4 speakers and must address scientific issues around a coherent theme of interest to a broad audience.
Technical workshops
They are meant to discuss technical advances in various fields of research, with the emphasis on techniques, not on scientific results. They may last around 3 hours and include up to 6 speakers.
Proposals can only be submitted through the internet. They must be original, reflecting the latest developments of research in the field of interest. At the same time, each proposal should represent different aspects of its scientific topic and take into account the geographical diversity of the laboratories engaged in the particular research.
For examples of symposia and technical workshops, see the programme of the last FENS Forum in Geneva, July 2008.
For detailed instructions on proposal submission, see the latest version of the guidelines (released on January 20).
Online submission is now closed!
PROGRAMME ADVISORS
FENS appointed Programme advisors to assist anyone who needs expert help to prepare the submission of a proposal for symposia or workshops at the FENS Forum 2010 in Amsterdam.
FENS especially encourages younger scientists to send in proposals. If you think not to have enough experience to submit such proposals or would become discouraged by the process of preparing the submission, the advisors can help you. They served in former Forum Programme Committees and are willing to advise you on proposals or answer questions prior definitive submission.
Please note however, that their advice does not guarantee acceptance of the proposal by the Programme Committee.
