a reminder that there is a a worldwide community call to suggest thematic symposia (including their invited speakers and organizers) for the Psi-k 2020 conference (https://www.psik2020.net). The deadline to submit suggestions is this Sep 8, 2019, midnight CEST (central european summer time).

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Symposia suggestions: each symposium will last between 2 and 3 hours, and cover between 2 and 4 invited presentations (30 min each), and between 2 and 6 contributed presentations (15 min each), that will be chosen by the symposium organizers themselves among the abstracts submitted (deadline for all abstract submissions will be May 1, 2020).

In order to make a suggestion for a symposium, you need to have a group of up to 4 organizers, as broad and as diverse as possible, identify a symposium theme (keeping in mind that 16 symposia will be broadly dedicated to the core activities of the 16 Psi-k working groups, https://psi-k.net/groups/) and suggest between 2 to 4 invited speakers. Organizers of approved symposia will also be in charge, in May 2020, of selecting contributed talks (2 to 6) among all the abstracts submitted to the symposium by Psi-k 2020 participants.

The Psi-k 2020 Program Committee <https://www.psik2020.net/committees> will evaluate in October 2019 all the submitted suggestions - the criteria will be

1. scientific merit, timeliness, and interest of the topic
2. intellectual diversity and inclusiveness of the speakers
3. scientific merit of the organizers
4. responding to the Psi-k mission statement (https://psi-k.net/)
