Preparing and submitting a traditional session proposal

ICOHTEC – SHOT
Joint Annual Meeting – Viña del Mar
9-14 July 2024

Traditional (fully assembled) session proposals

Sessions of 3 or 4 papers, with a session chair listed in the proposal. You may also list a commentator. Please note: If a commentator has a central role in the session (e.g., a titled commentary), we suggest that there be only 3 papers in the session.

Especially if compiled based on an open session proposal, sessions may be organized into a “thread” consisting of two and at most three sessions, which the program committee will strive to schedule in consecutive sessions in the same room.

All session proposals must include:

• A session title.
• Name organizer(s) and their title, affiliation & e-mail address(es).
• 200-300 word description of the session.
• 150-250 word individual abstracts.
• Name, title, affiliation, and e-mail address of the presenters.
• Name, title, affiliation, and e-mail address of the chair.
• Name, title, affiliation, and e-mail address of the commentator (if any).
• Other required information, including requests for online or hybrid access and the identification of Robinson Prize candidates, will be managed by our online submission portal.
• Extended submission deadline: 10 January 2023
