Proposals can only be submitted through the online submission form. The proposals must be original, reflecting the latest developments of research in the field of interest. At the same time, each proposal should represent different aspects of its scientific topic and take into account the geographical diversity of the laboratories engaged in the particular research.

The instructions for symposium and technical workshop proposals are available under the Guidelines for proposals submission​​.

Symposia 
56 symposia will be selected by the Programme Committee. Each will last 1 hour 30 minutes and must a​ddress scientific issues around a coherent theme of interest to a broad audience.

Technical workshops 
Four to six technical workshops will be selected by the Programme Committee and will take place in the morning preceding the formal opening of the Forum. These are meant to discuss technical advances in various fields of research, with the emphasis on techniques, not on scientific results. They may last around 3 hours. The number of attendees at a technical workshop is limited to 50-100 in order to encourage interactions. A workshop registration fee will be requested from the attendees to contribute to the cost of room rental.​

Extended Submission Deadline: 8 March 2017.
