We welcome proposals annually for symposia on topics that are relevant to the science
priorities in the Science
Plan and/or issues highlighted in the Strategic
Plan and Advisory Plan. Proposals can be made either for ICES co-sponsorship or endorsement only. Next call will be published in the end of 2024.
The following criteria apply:
- symposium topic should address at least one of the science priorities in ICES Science Plan and/or topics highlighted in ICES Strategic or Advice Plans
- high-quality scientific outcomes are expected
- the scientific credibility of the conveners is well established
- scientists affiliated to ICES working groups should be included in the scientific steering committee
- a sound financial basis is expected
- ICES sponsorship should be of mutual importance to ICES and to the requesting partner[s]

More detailed information is provided in the symposium guidelines.
The final decision to co-sponsor a science symposium is made by our Science Committee (SCICOM).
