Symposium Format
An Invited Symposium is designed to be a focused session in which distinguished speakers present on a common theme, issue or question. As a major event of the Congress the invited symposium should target themes of particular relevance and able to attract a broad audience. It would usually consist of a chairperson briefly introducing the topic and providing an introduction to the session. This would usually be followed by at least 4 but no more than 6 individual speakers (ideally 3 from different affiliations or countries), and ending with concluding remarks by a discussant. Every effort should be made to ensure close interaction between the speakers and to provide new and non-overlapping presentations. There should be opportunity for the audience to ask questions to presenters and for an exchange of views.
An invited symposium session will run for 110 minutes.

Submission rules
All presenters and discussants are required to register the Congress. The invited organizer will be waived from paying the registration fees at the Congress, but at least four participants/presenters should be registered after payment.
