Please note:

Each session requires a minimum of two conveners. We encourage that for each session at least one early-career professional be included as convener.

Please

• Provide a title, a list of at least two conveners including contact information, and a short description of your session (max. 250 words).
• Select the appropriate theme(s) for your session. We particularly encourage sessions covering more than one theme. You can choose as many as three.
• Suggest a keynote speaker if desired. Let us all aim for a diverse group of keynote speakers! We will apply for DFG support to help cover their travel and accommodation costs. This support is only available for foreign keynote speakers (not for German citizens abroad!).
