CAN-ACN Symposia Abstract Submission Information – Parallel Symposium
The 11th Canadian Neuroscience meeting will be held in Montreal from May 28-31, 2017.
The format will consist of:
- morning Plenary Symposia and Distinguished Lectures
- afternoon Parallel Symposia and poster sessions throughout the day
Members in good standing of the Association can submit parallel symposia proposals. We will be openly requesting proposals for Parallel Symposia that cover a wide range of topics in both basic and translational neuroscience.
Parallel Symposia are 1.5 hours long and will be chosen based on scientific merit and whether the topic was not covered recently; a balance of junior and senior faculty, and genders of speakers is encouraged. We also wish to ensure that a wide range of neuroscience topics are represented in various symposia.
The Chair may or may not be a speaker and the total number of speakers in the session should be at least 3, or a maximum of 4. Please note we cannot provide any support for travel or other expenses for symposium speakers.
Preference will be given to speakers who have not given presentations at CAN-ACN Meetings in the last 2 years. Recent speakers can, however, act as a Chair of parallel symposia.
If you would like to organize a symposium, please submit your proposal online, between October 25, 2016 and November 30, 2016. Only members in good standing can submit a proposal.
All proposals will be evaluated by the 2017 Scientific Program Committee, and the committee will choose twelve for presentation at the Canadian Neuroscience meeting in Montreal.
If your submission is accepted, all symposium speakers listed will be required to submit an individual abstract no later than January 30, 2017.
