A symposium is a group of presentations with a single, coherent theme intended to enable a number of presentations to be grouped together to create an opportunity for a complex subject to be dealt with in an extended presentation session. Consideration should be given to the overall goal of the symposium as much as to the goal of the individual presentations within it. A symposium will usually consist of two or three linked presentations. Consideration should also be given to audience engagement and mechanisms for facilitating question or dialogue with the audience.
Please note: that all symposia submissions will be automatically considered for individual oral/poster presentations if they are not selected as a symposium
The Abstract Mentor Program is being introduced at the 2015 APSAD Scientific Alcohol & Drug Conference (APSAD 2015), with the objective of helping First Peoples (Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and Māori) and Early Career Researchers working in the AOD field to improve their abstracts before submitting them, thus increasing the chance of their work being represented at conferences.
