CAPA/ACAP 2020: Call for e-Symposia

The Scientific Program Committee for the 2020 CAPA/ACAP Virtual Meeting (November 4th-November 6th) is requesting proposals for symposia.

To submit a proposal, please complete this form and return it by email to Dr. Mirjana Roksandic (m.roksandic@uwinnipeg.ca ) by Monday, August 31st, 2020.

All symposium proposals will be evaluated by the CAPA/ACAP 2020 Scientific Program Committee. Given the limited time slots available, it may not be possible to accept all proposals. Symposia will be judged on merits including the proposed length, the potential to bring together participants virtually from multiple institutions and/or research groups, the scholarly interest of the theme tying the presentations together, and how interesting and useful they are likely to be to the attending CAPA/ACAP membership at large. The Scientific Program Committee reserves the right to discuss format/length etc. with those submitting proposals.

Symposium presentations are encouraged in both official languages. If presenters are able, please consider delivering their presentations in one language and having their slides in the other (or both).
