Submission guidelines

Early career researchers are particularly encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity to organize a symposium. The Organizing Committee seeks diversity in ECVP submissions in terms of gender, age, nationality, ethnicity, and topic.

• The submission should include (1) a title, (2) a general symposium abstract (word limit: 400), (3) the names of the main organizer(s) and speakers with related affiliations, and (4) the titles of all talks and co-authors. Please indicate the preferred order of talks for the symposium. The general symposium abstract should describe the theme, the motivation, and the relevance of the topic to the ECVP community.
• A symposium may have a maximum of two organizers (who may also be speakers in the symposium). The organizer of the symposium is in charge of the submission and communicating with the identified speakers on the arrangements.
• In 2025, there are two alternatives: (A) 90-minute sessions. These sessions are scheduled for five speakers, with some time for audience questions. (B) 60-minute sessions on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (see Schedule). These shorter sessions are scheduled for three to four speakers, with some time for audience questions. In both cases, talk time and Q&A time may be scheduled within the 1-1.5 hour session at the discretion of the symposium chairs (e.g., after individual talks or concentrated at the end of the session).
• Individual abstracts of all talks in a symposium must be submitted during the abstract submission period (indicating that this is being submitted as an accepted symposium talk). Once the symposium is accepted, any changes to the schedule or speakers must be approved by the organizing committee.
• Please submit the symposium proposal to ecvp2025@uni-mainz.de.
• Symposia submissions will open on December, 9th 2024 and close on January, 19th 2025.

Notification of accepted symposia will be communicated on February, 2nd 2025.
