General guidelines
Please note that conference registration allows you to submit ONE abstract as first author (either poster or talk). Organizing or speaking in a symposium does not prevent organizers or speakers from submitting an additional abstract for a talk or poster presentation. Co-author contributions are unlimited.
Please note that references are not allowed to be included in abstracts. Authors should emphasize what they consider to be most important and interesting and, where possible, clearly state theoretical implications. Authors are strongly encouraged to write in as clear a manner as possible (in English) and are invited to not use acronyms or abbreviations without prior introduction. Where necessary, the SI system of units should be used. The word limit for individual abstracts is 300 words, presented as plain text without figures or graphics.

Submission guidelines
Early career researchers are particularly encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity to organize a symposium. The Organizing Committee seeks diversity in ECVP submissions in terms of gender, age, nationality, ethnicity, and topic.
- The submission should include (1) a title, (2) a general symposium abstract (word limit: 400), (3) the names of the main organiser(s) and speakers with related affiliations, and (4) the titles of all talks and co-authors. Please indicate the preferred order of talks for the symposium. The general symposium abstract should describe the theme, the motivation, and the relevance of the topic for the ECVP community.
- A symposium may have a maximum of two organisers (who may also be speakers in the symposium). The organiser of the symposium is in charge of the submission and communicating with the identified speakers on the arrangements if selected.
- There should be a minimum of four speakers and maximum of five speakers, with some time allocated for the audience to ask questions. Talk time and Q&A time can be scheduled within the 1.5-hour session according to the symposia organisers’ discretion (e.g., after individual talks or concentrated at the end of the session).
- Individual abstracts of all talks in a symposium will need to be submitted during the abstract submission period (indicating that this is submitted as an accepted symposium talk). Once the symposium is accepted, any change to schedules or speakers will need to be approved by the organising committee.
- Please submit the symposium proposal to ecvp2026@bournemouth.ac.uk.
- Symposia submissions will open on the 18th of December 2025 and close on the 25th of January 2026. Notification of accepted symposia will be communicated on the 6th of February.
