Call for Mini-Symposia
The submission of Mini-Symposia (MS) proposals to the 9th edition of the ECCOMAS Young Investigators Conference (YIC 2027) is now open.
The Conference Programme will feature Plenary Lectures complemented by Mini-Symposia organized by recognised experts in specific research areas, covering all the main topics addressed by the conference.
Participants interested in organizing a Mini-Symposium at YIC 2027 are invited to submit a proposal in PDF format by using the template available here:
The proposal should briefly describe the scientific content and objectives of the Mini-Symposium and include the names and affiliations of the organizers. At this stage, a list of prospective speakers is not required.
Each MS may have one or more organizers. The organizer submitting the proposal on behalf of all the organizers will be designated as the Corresponding MS Organizer. The Corresponding MS Organizer will also serve as the sole point of contact with the Conference Secretariat.
Each MS is expected to consist of at least one 2-hour session, consisting of six 20-minute presentation slots. The final number of sessions allocated to each MS will depend on the number of accepted contributions and will be determined in multiples of six presentation slots. 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 available for regular presentations. Therefore, at least 10 confirmed regular presentations are required to include a Keynote lecture. Please also note that only one contribution is allowed per registered speaker.
Mini-symposia proposals should be submitted through the conference website no later than 15 December 2026.
