[visionlist] VSS 2018 | Reminder to Submit Symposia Proposals

[Vision Sciences Society]

Symposia Proposals Now Being Accepted

 



VSS is currently seeking proposals for symposia to be held during the 2018
VSS Annual Meeting. Four to six symposia will be scheduled, each lasting two
hours.

 

VSS Symposia deal with contemporary research topics in vision research.
Symposia can be organized by content area or by method, but talks within a
symposium should focus on broader conceptual themes than a typical VSS
presentation. There should be at least four, but no more than five, speakers
within a symposium session. Each talk should be scheduled for between 20 and
30 minutes, including time for discussion. Discussion time can be scheduled
after individual talks and/or at the end of the session.

 

The symposium organizer must be a 2018 VSS member, but invited speakers need
not be members. All speakers are required to register for the meeting.
Submitting a symposium proposal and/or speaking in a symposium does not
prevent you from submitting an abstract for a talk or poster presentation at
VSS. Complete submission instructions and how to submit a proposal can be
found at

m0-IM4EVyJWP0Gay2eTA4LrQ4egtA==> Symposium Submissions. The quality of the
speakers is important to a symposium, so scheduled speakers may not be
substituted, even by coauthors. By submitting a symposium proposal, the
organizers agree that all speakers will participate in the symposium and
that speakers have not committed to participate in more than one symposium. 

 

Symposia will be selected by the VSS Board of Directors on the basis of
scientific merit, timeliness, theoretical innovation and/or breadth,
methodological innovation and/or diversity, and overlap (less being better)
with last year's symposia and with the regular program. Symposia often
benefit from a diversity of perspective and institutional affiliations.
Proposals from young investigators are particularly encouraged.
