MINISYMPOSIA

The organizers believe that ECCOMAS YIC 2023 is also an opportunity for young researchers to develop their leadership skills and to extend their professional and scientific networks. Therefore, we are pleased to invite the potential participants to submit their proposals to organize thematic mini-symposia.

The deadline for symposium proposal submission is on the 7th of November, 2022. To submit your proposal, please fill the form available on the website where you must provide the title of the mini-symposium, a brief description, and information about the organizer (and co-organizers, if applicable).
