Symposia submissions are now open! All topics related to epidemiology/pharmacoepidemiology are welcome.
Deadline: 15 January 2026
Guidelines
We are welcoming proposals for symposia to be presented at the NordicEpi & NorPEN Conference 2026. Symposia should be focused on a central theme and are organized by one or two chairs who also moderate the session. The recommended format is four to six talks. Talk time and Q&A time can be scheduled within the 55-minute session according to the organizers’ discretion (e.g., after individual talks, concentrated at the end of a session, or a mixture of the two approaches). Other formats will be considered, but proposals for other formats should include a clear rationale. Symposia often benefit from a diversity of perspectives and institutional affiliations. Proposals from young investigators are encouraged.
The Scientific Committee evaluates symposium submissions based on:
Symposia should reflect work that is well-advanced and is presented in an integrated manner. Work that is just beginning will not ordinarily be approved for symposium presentations, nor will a series of individual data presentations that do not provide an integrated view of advanced work.
As the symposium organizer, you must have prior approval from your presenters that they consent to participate in this symposium (and no other symposium due to potential scheduling conflicts), and to register and attend NordicEpi & NorPEN 2026 in-person to present their talk.
If symposia are not accepted for the conference, the abstracts included in symposia submissions will be considered as independent communications for oral or poster presentation.
Practical instructions
Symposia submissions should be sent to local.epipen@uit.no with “symposium submission” in the subject line. Attach a single PDF that includes the following:
