The Korean Society
for Brain and Neural Sciences
(KSBNS) invites you to submit
proposals for a symposium for
the KSBNS 27th annual meeting
in conjunction with Asian Pacific
Society for Neurochemistry (APSN), which will be held from
October 15 to 18, 2024, in Gyeongju, one of the ancient capitals of South Korea.
We are looking to
select high-quality symposia
from all over the world. If you
would like to organize a symposium, please complete this
Symposium Proposal Form and submit it by January 31, 2024. The KSBNS Scientific
Program Committee will review
the symposium proposals
after the submission deadline.
Acceptance will be notified via
email around late March,
2024. For further inquiries, please contact neuro@ksbns.org.
Please refer to the guidelines for proposals below:
1. Symposium organization
-Each symposium should
last 90-100 minutes, with
3-4 speakers presenting and discussing a coherent topic
in neuroscience that should be of interest to a broad audience.
-Each symposium should
have 1 chairperson to moderate
the session and lead discussion.
Although one of the
speakers can be designated as
the chairperson if needed, we
recommend a separate chairperson to maximize discussion.
-Speakers and the
chair must be included only upon their consent.
All speakers must
be present offline at the venue
(HICO, Gyeongju) and no online participation will be allowed.
-English must be used as the official language.
-Each principal organizer
can organize no more than one symposium.
-Each principal organizer
must be a member
of KSBNS for his/her proposal to be accepted.
2. Selection criteria
-The highest priority
will be given to the symposium
proposals that include a
diverse group of participants
(e.g., gender, race, and country
of origin). Proposing a symposium
composed of researchers
from the same institution is
highly discouraged and may
be rejected by the KSBNS Scientific Program Committee.
-The KSBNS Scientific
Program Committee will
give priority to the proposals
of broader and outstanding interest to a general audience.
-The KSBNS Scientific
Program Committee will
give priority to the proposals
that do not overlap with symposia
themes from the prior annual meetings of KSBNS (See
LINK).
-Symposium proposals
composed of researchers with
a wide range of methodologies
and perspectives on a common
theme are preferred. Proposing
a symposium that may include
thematically unrelated
speakers is highly discouraged
and may be rejected by the KSBNS Scientific Program Committee.
-The KSBNS Scientific
Program Committee will review
the proposal and may request a revision if necessary.
3. Financial support
-Once selected, financial
support in the amount
of up to 2,000,000 KRW will be
provided to each symposium depending on the diversity of the proposal.
-The participating
speakers and chairs of selected
symposia will have their registration fees waived.
- -Additional expenses
(e.g., travel, accommodation,
and other expenses) should
be covered by the symposium participants
and organizers themselves.
