Call for Symposia for the EBBS 51st Meeting

The European Brain and Behaviour Society (EBBS) invites symposium proposals for the 51st EBBS Meeting that will take place in Bordeaux, 28 June – 1 July 2025.

Symposia Guidelines

The EBBS Programme Committee welcomes excellent symposia that advance our knowledge of the brain and behaviour, in health and disease, using all research approaches.

Excellent proposals covering either a hot topic in the field or a novel topic not represented in previous EBBS meetings will be favoured.

A symposium may be proposed by any established researcher who did not have a symposium proposal accepted at the EBBS 2023 meeting. Members of the Programme Committee can neither propose a symposium nor be speakers in a symposium. Proposers of successful symposia would be expected to be or become full members of the EBBS^*.

Each symposium will require one (or two) chairperson(s) and four speakers (the chair may be one of the speakers). Preference will be given to proposals that represent diversity (across age, gender, and origin). Symposia will be two hours long, allowing four talks of approximately 20-25 minutes each, plus time for questions.

The selection of symposia will take place in December, handled by members of the EBBS Board and Committee, with results announced to the proponents by the end of 2024.

Please note that EBBS cannot cover any travel or registration costs for chairs or speakers of a symposium.

Please complete the EBBS symposium proposal form by clicking this link by 15 November 2024.
