Call for proposals
Every year, we welcome proposals for symposia on topics that align with our science priorities in
ICES Science Plan, Strategic Plan, and Advisory Plan. Proposals can be made either for ICES co-sponsorship or endorsement only, with the final decision on approval made by our Science Committee (SCICOM).
Call for proposals is now closed
We will open the call again in autumn 2025 for co-sponsorship of symposia scheduled for 2027 and 2028. Keep an eye on this page for details.
Eligibility and requirements
Proposals should focus on at least one of the science priorities within ICES Science Plan and/or topics highlighted in the ICES Strategic or Advice Plans. Scientists who are involved with ICES groups should be included on the scientific steering committee.
For more detailed information about the criteria, please refer to the symposium guidelines.
