The 11th INTECOL Scientific Programme Committee is responsible for developing the program agenda which groups oral presentations related to similar themes. The Programme Committee solicits abstracts and then uses these submissions to build unified sessions. To promote collaboration and interdisciplinary dialogue, we invite you to help us develop the programme by proposing sessions related to your field of expertise.
It is important to note the following when submitting an abstract under an accepted symposia or workshop.
Symposia is where somebody volunteers to organise and run a special session with invited speakers on a theme that fits the conference. Symposium leads submit a proposal for a symposium that is considered for acceptance by the organising committee. The symposium lead(s) invites and organises speakers to be part of the symposium. Often there is an overview speaker who leads the symposium, and there can also be a panel discussion at the closing of the symposium. Anyone can submit an abstract under an accepted symposia, however you may not be accepted. If this is the case your abstract will then be considered for the programme.
Workshop is similar to symposia except with a more hands-on approach. For workshops it is expected that there will be fewer oral papers and more interaction between participants. Workshop lead(s) submit a proposal that is considered for acceptance by the organising committee.The workshop lead(s) invites and organises speakers to be part of the workshop. Anyone can submit an abstract under an accepted workshop, however you may not be accepted. If this is the case your abstract will then be considered for the programme.
In addition to the above sessions you can also submit a poster abstract presentation:
