A symposium consists of 4-5 contributions, which are briefly described in the cover abstract (symposium duration: 90 minutes). The length must not exceed 250 words. The abstract can be written in German or English (please use a consistent language within a symposium), but should be submitted in the presentation language. Please do not use graphics or linking. In addition, please make sure that each symposium includes at least one contribution from a young scientist and that several research institutions are represented. We additionally encourage, if possible, to ensure gender balance.

Symposium proposals can be submitted until February 20, 2023. Feedback will be provided by March 03, 2023. Once a symposium has been accepted, the individual presentation abstracts will be submitted by the respective presenters (see symposium presentation); contributions from symposia that have not been accepted may be submitted as poster contributions (see poster contributions).

The chairing of a symposium (symposium chair) can be done alone or in pairs - with the condition that at least one chair already holds a PhD. This means that young scientists can also submit abstracts and chair a symposium together with a chair who already holds a PhD!
