Call for MS

Plenary Lectures will be complemented by Minisymposia organized by recognised experts in targeted research areas and related to all the important topics of the conference.

Participants interested in organizing an Minisymposia at SIMAI 2027 are requested to submit an abstract of their proposal in PDF Format by using the template available here.

The abstract should briefly illustrate the contents and objectives of the Minisymposia, as well as the name of the organizers. The list of prospective speakers is not required.

We particularly encourage proposals for Mini-Symposia in new and developing areas that broaden the fields of application.

Each MS may have one or more organizers. For organizational reasons, a Corresponding MS Organizer (who will submit the MS proposal and be in contact with the Conference Secretariat) must be appointed.

Each MS is expected to consist of at least one 2-hour session (six presentations of 20 minutes each). The total number of sessions per MS will be determined by the number of submitted papers, in multiples of six. Within each MS, one Keynote Lecture may be scheduled for every two full sessions (i.e., 12 presentation slots). A keynote presentation typically occupies two slots, leaving 10 slots for regular presentations; therefore, at least 10 confirmed presentations are required to include a keynote lecture. Please also note that only one contribution is allowed per registered speaker.

Minisymposia proposals, should be submitted through the conference website no later than 16 November 2026. This is a sharp deadline, with no planned extension.
