We are excited to announce the call for symposia for the upcoming Australasian Neuroscience Meeting in Hobart. Please read the following submission requirements carefully before applying. Each symposium should feature four speakers and two chairs.
Proposals will be accepted in Currinda from current ANS members. Please provide a concise overview of the symposium (150 words max), outlining the main themes and objectives. Highlight the significance of the topic within the field of neuroscience and the unique perspectives each speaker will bring.
You will also need to detail what each speaker will discuss (200 words/speaker max). Ensure gender balance and the inclusion of one or more early-/mid-career researchers (<10 years post-PhD) in the proposed speakers. Priority will be given to symposia proposals that emphasize equity and diversity including career stage and cultural and linguistic diversity of speakers.
Please read the Symposia policy and guidelines document for full details and eligibility requirements.
Proposals that address any research areas represented within the membership are welcomed, including but not limited to:
- Autonomic and neuroendocrine systems
- Artificial intelligence in neuroscience
- Clinical neuroscience: basic, translational and clinical studies
