We are excited to announce that we are now accepting proposals for mini symposia at the upcoming 13th WIOMSA Symposium! We invite engaging mini symposia proposals focusing on discussions around the themes of the event, with a particular focus on regional issues that advance knowledge synthesis, research, and policy recommendations.

Submission and review of mini symposium related abstracts

Mini Symposia proposals will be evaluated based on scientific quality, significance of the topic, and expected outcomes.
