Minisymposia consist of a series of contributed talks on an overarching theme. Each minisymposium spans either one or two 80-minute sessions, where each session contains at most four talks à 20 minutes (accounting for questions, presentation and preparation time). The organizers may propose to combine two 20-minute talks into a single 40-minute minisymposium keynote. Each minisymposium can have at most one keynote.

In addition to the general submission guidelines, minisymposium proposals must include:

• a list of all organizers (in the Authors field of the form; each marked as Author)
• a list of all speakers, already confirmed to be able to present (also in the Authors field of the form; each marked as Speaker)

If a minisymposium proposal is accepted, it is the responsibility of the organizers to collect individual talk titles and abstracts from their speakers. Details on how to submit these to us will be provided upon acceptance of the minisymposium proposal.

The deadline for submitting minisymposia proposals is 24. January 2026 (AoE). Please see the Important Dates page for more information.

Contributed talks are individual 20-minute presentations (including the discussion and setup time) that will be scheduled together with other thematically adjacent talks to form a session. Poster presentations will be conducted in dedicated poster sessions, where authors can present and discuss their work with interested attendees.

In addition to the requirements outlined in the general submission guidelines above, proposals for contributed talks and posters must include all authors of the associated work (with names and affiliations), and one of the authors must be designated as the Speaker.

The scientific committee might re-evaluate the proposed format of a contribution and change it from a talk to a poster presentation.

The deadline for submitting contributed talks and poster presentations is 28. March 2026 (AoE). Please see the Important Dates page for more information.
