IBC symposium proposal deadline extended to 20 January 2023

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

Please note that the deadline for submission of symposium proposals for the International Botanical Congress (IBC) has been extended to 20 January 2023. The symposium proposal submission page can be found on the IBC website.

Call for symposia

The scientific committee will evaluate symposium proposals based on potential audience interest, scientific quality, and diversity of speakers in terms of gender, career stage, and geography, among others. Symposium proposals that bridge two or more of the 31 proposed topics, including novel views and/or multi-disciplinary research perspectives are especially encouraged. We will make an effort to accept as many proposals as possible. Each symposium will last for 2 hours and will consist of six 20-minute oral communications (15 min presentations + 5 min Q&A). To maximize the interchangeability of participants among concurrent symposia, changes to this schedule will not be allowed. Deadline for symposium proposals extended to 20 January 2023.
