Call for symposia

NEWE is a yearly event composed of multiple symposia. For organizational reasons, Fundació Scito has established common rules for all the symposia. Please read this carefully before submitting your proposal.

NEWE is a unique series of symposia celebrated in a compact period of 5 days in a single setting. The symposia are medium size and closely related to form an exciting, interdisciplinary event that attracts key players of the respective fields either as organizers, invited speakers or as participants. As always, nanoGe very much takes diversity into account when putting conferences together: from gender to geographical diversity and senior researchers vs. young-and-upcoming ones that will raise fresh ideas to their field. The symposia are celebrated on attractive environment to facilitate a close exchange of views on scientific research and technical ideas and intensive networking.

If you want to propose a symposium that was already celebrated in the past, please contact us previously. Note that organizers must change in successive editions. As an exception, two consecutive editions are allowed for one person in an emerging symposium.
