NetSci 2019 Call for Satellites

Submit proposals:

(single PDF file, maximum 2 pages, longer proposals will not be accepted)

We invite you to submit a proposal for a satellite symposium including:

title, abstract (brief summary of topic and aims of the satellite), contact information (names and emails of all organizers, with the mandatory indication of 1 contact organizer), format (number of speakers, number of participants, length/duration/0.5 or 1 day, preliminary program, number of participants at previous editions if applicable), preliminary list of speakers (confirmed or pre-contacted speakers are a plus during the review, to be indicated in the proposal).Please indicate if you are applying to the NetSci Young Initiative for Satellite Meeting.

To increase your chance of success, proposals should attempt to join forces with others that want to submit a proposal on a similar/overlapping topic (for instance, based on previous NetSci editions). The committee will reserve the option of merging selected proposals that focus on similar topics.

Important dates

Deadline for submission of satellite proposals: December 11, 2018.
Notification of acceptance: January 8, 2019.
