We invite distinguished members of the scientific community to further contribute to the discussion by organizing a special thematic session focusing on a topic of their choice that fits in with the general scope of the CEES 2023 conference.

How to organize a special thematic session?

Each organized session is intended to be 2 hours long and contain 5 to 6 presentations (each 20 minutes long, including discussion). However, if more communications are submitted on a particular topic the session may be split accordingly. As a session organizer you will be responsible for:

  • Inviting fellow researchers to submit and present communications on your proposed topic,
  • Ensuring the revision of the abstracts submitted to the session,
  • Chairing the session.

You may extend this invitation to another colleague for a joint organization.

In recognition of your efforts, the Organizing Committee will waive the cost of one registration fee per organized session (containing at least 5 presentations with confirmed paid registration).

How to propose a special thematic session?

Special thematic sessions should be proposed no later than 16th November to cees2023@itecons.uc.pt.
