Theme session proposals for the 2018 edition of ICES flagship event, taking place 24-27 September in Hamburg, are now being accepted.
Those submitting proposals are encouraged to demonstrate that their objectives address the science priorities of ICES as addressed in the Strategic Plan – and/or the emerging science priorities identified by SCICOM at its 2017 meeting. Applicants are also advised to link their proposals to the topics which are the focus of the steering groups, strategic initiatives, and/or advice.
Applicants are particularly encouraged to propose new formats for their sessions. Options for finding new ways of sharing your science and innovation could include panel discussions, brief introductory slots or keynotes (securing funds is up to conveners), or stakeholder participation.
Submissions can be made using the online form and should be completed by the Friday 1 September 2017 deadline. A theme session example is available to help structure your proposal. Unsuccessful proposals from 2016 will not be considered unless they are resubmitted using the online proposal form.
