ISHPSSB TORONTO MEETING, 9–15 JULY 2023
University of Toronto and Western University
Organized Sessions
We encourage participants to submit organized sessions. They are submitted by one organizer, who must also participate in the session. All sessions will have exactly 90 minutes. There are two different types of Organized Sessions:
- Traditional Session
- Diverse Format Session
The organizer can either invite the other participants directly, in order to submit a closed proposal; or post an Open Organized Session proposal using the Open Organized Session Board at ISHPSSB 2023
a) Traditional Session: (90 minutes)
Each Traditional Session proposal should include three speakers and a Chair, who may (but need not) be one of the speakers. Each speaker will have 30 minutes total, including a discussion. This submission format requires a session title and a 200–500-word session abstract; titles and 200–500-word abstracts for each talk; and the names, affiliations, and email address for all participants. It is possible to submit a double Organized Session, with the same title, six speakers, with two 90 minutes slots.
b) Diverse Format Session (90 minutes)
Each Diverse Format Session should have at least two participants, including a chair. These sessions may be organized as roundtables, panels, dialogues, theater games, performance lectures, longer talks, lightning talks, commentaries, films, artistic performance-based formats, lab work and so on. If you need specific props or space, please indicate in the submission and we will try to accommodate as well as we can.
This submission format requires a session title and 200–500 word abstract, as well as the names, affiliations, and email address for all participants. Additional information relevant to the particular format (for example, short bios in the case of panels) can also be included in the information submitted by the session organizer.
Individual Papers (oral presentations)
Individuals may also submit a paper proposal, which requires a paper title and 200–500-word abstract, the presenter’s name, affiliation and email address. Full names, affiliations, and email addresses of co-authors (if any) are also required. The submission should be made by the person who will present the paper at the meeting. The paper presentation must be no more than 20 minutes in length, with an additional 10 minutes for discussion. Individual Paper submissions will be grouped and scheduled into 90-minute sessions by the Program Committee. Individuals may submit only one individual paper or present as part of one organized session, but may also submit a poster and a flash talk. Before submitting your individual paper, please check the Open Session Board to see if there might be a proposal for an Organized Session that your contribution fits with.
Poster Presentations and Poster Flash Talks
Poster Sessions will be held in person and virtually. Posters will be required to be submitted beforehand.
Information on this process including poster format information can be found by viewing: Submission Guidelines. For those submitting a poster there is also the option to additionally submit a video for a flash talk (1 min) that introduces your poster in a brief, accessible and, if possible, entertaining way. At the start of the poster session, we will have a hybrid poster slam in which the submitted flash talk videos are screened.
The submission for the Poster Session requires a title and 200–500-word abstract, plus the participant’s name, affiliation and email address; it should also include the specification of technical and/or space requirements. Full names, affiliation and email of co-authors (if any) are also required.
Participants who propose a poster (and submit an additional flash talk) are also allowed to submit an individual paper or to participate in an organized session. Participants in the Poster Session can also submit a video with a flash talk.
Participation in multiple sessions
You may give one oral presentation (in an organized or diverse format session, or as an individual paper), as well as chair one session or give a poster (including a flash talk).
Prizes
To encourage interdisciplinary exchange, participants can apply for an Interdisciplinary Organized Session Prize (US$ 500). Candidate sessions are expected to stand out as a fruitful combination of approaches or methodologies from several of the ISHPSSB disciplines, and especially through contributions from the social studies and history of the life sciences. Besides this, the meeting will also introduce a new prize for the best (and most entertaining) submitted poster flash video (US$ 300).
In-person, hybrid and online presentation
Sessions may be in person, hybrid and – in a restricted number of cases – fully online. While we understand that attending in person will not be possible for all participants, we may not be able to accommodate all requests for hybrid sessions, due to the technical and personnel requirements of good hybrid meetings. In hybrid session, to enable fruitful discussions, at least 2 (out of 3) speakers need to present their papers in-person. All chairs should be present in Toronto. The schedule of all sessions, including hybrid ones, will be adapted to the meeting location in Toronto.
NOTE: If, due to visa application requirements, you need to know the outcome of the abstract proposal assessment early, please get in touch with the program committee at program@ishpssb.org. Please make sure your proposal is submitted at the time of inquiry.
