Workshops and Symposia

Industrial Symposium and Workshops

The main objective of a sponsored satellite symposium or workshop is the communication of scientific material to enhance the knowledge of attendees. Assignment of opportunities for satellite symposia or workshops will be based on the quality of the application.

It is preferred that at least 60% of the programme of a sponsored satellite symposium or workshop must have general scientific content and not more than 40% may be related to any specific drug or equipment. If this condition is not met, any publicity should state clearly and prominently that the general educational content is less than 60%.

How to Apply

Apply to organise a symposium by filling out the booking form.

Please indicate your preferred date, time and room size. Your preference will be considered when allocating your time slot. A tentative title and a provisional list of speakers must be submitted in advance to be approved by the Chairperson of the ESA Scientific Programme Committee, who is responsible for controlling the scientific content of the symposia.
Please submit the programme title as early as possible and the final outline of your symposium to the Exhibition Manager by 15 March 2012 at the latest.

Please note that it is strictly forbidden to hold satellite symposia or workshops, or other formal gatherings outside the congress premises between 9 and 12 June 2012.
