Abstracts & Symposia submissions

Organize a symposium: How to submit your proposal

Submission deadline: 15 January 2027

Symposium proposal template

As in previous FEPS editions, we are looking for symposium proposals that bring together complementary research, perspectives and expertise around important topics in Physiology. Proposals should bring together speakers whose work connects in meaningful ways and contributes to a broader, interdisciplinary discussion of significant physiological questions.

There will be 15+ symposia across the three days of the meeting.

Each symposium proposal should meet the following requirements:

Organisers: 1–2 organisers, who will act as Chair(s).
Speakers: Ideally, proposals should include:
- 2 senior researchers who are recognised leaders in the field.
- 2 early-career researchers, with up to 10 years since their PhD, who have experience presenting their research to a multidisciplinary audience.
Diversity: Proposals should aim for a balance of:
- Gender
- Geography
- Career stage
Countries and institutions:
- We encourage symposium proposals to include speakers of different genders and from different countries, where possible.
- If two or more speakers are from the same country, they should be from different institutions.
Format: Each symposium will last between 60 and 90 minutes, with 20 minutes allocated to each presentation.
Abstracts: All invited speakers will be required to submit an abstract – during the abstract submission period (abstract deadline is March 1st, 2027).

NOTE: All symposium speakers are required to pay the conference registration fee and are responsible for financing their own travel and accommodation expenses.

How to submit your proposal

All proposals must be submitted through the ConfTool conference platform. Proposals submitted by email will not be considered.
Proposals should include the organizers/chairs, potential speakers and a brief description outlining the symposium’s objectives, scientific motivation, key topics, challenges and directions. Follow the template available above.
Log in to ConfTool, select “Symposium Proposal”, and follow the instructions to submit your proposal. Enter the symposium title and list all potential speakers as authors, including their full details.
All proposals will be carefully reviewed, and the organisers reserve the right to request changes to the proposed programme, speakers or format, or to merge proposals covering similar topics.

Important information

At least one author of each abstract must register in full in order to attend the congress and present the abstract.
If the abstract is not deemed suitable for podium presentation, it will automatically be considered for poster presentation.
Abstract template use is mandatory.
The abstract should be compiled without changing the styles (The easiest way to use this abstract form is by cutting and pasting unformatted text into each section to maintain the document’s present format.)

The abstracts should be uploaded as PDF document through the conference website. Maximum size of the PDF file: 1MB.
