Estimados Socios:
El año 2014 la reunión anual de la Sociedad de Ciencias Fisiológicas se realizará durante la primera semana de Agosto, en IGUASSU FALLS-BRAZIL como parte del 1st PANAMERICAN CONGRESS OF PHYSIOLOGICAL SCIENCES, cuya organización está encabezada por colegas de Brasil y en la cual participamos varias Sociedades de las Américas, como Argentina, Canadá, Chile, México, y otros.

Para este evento se nos ha solicitado proponer simposios y conferencias los cuales deben ser financiados localmente. Las propuestas serán evaluadas por el comité de Programación Científica y se eligirán por país un máximo de dos simposios y una conferencia.
A continuación se transcriben las Instrucciones para presentar Simposios y Conferencias
A) Guidelines for Plenary Speaker proposals
Please submit a letter explaining the scientific reasons that support your indication of this name for a plenary conference and a short CV of your proposed speaker. The confirmation that the speaker would attend the Congress if invited is also recommended. Please make sure that the topic of the speaker falls within the theme of a Congress of Physiological Sciences.
B) Guidelines for Symposium Submission
B1) Each symposium will be 2 hours long and may include 5 invited speakers with 3 established investigators and 2 young investigators (rising stars). To each established investigator will be allocated 25 min (20 + 5) and to each young investigator will be allocated 15 min (10 +5). It may have a Chair and Co-Chair or just a Chair. Please note that if the Chair or Co-Chair gives more than brief introductory remarks, the proposal must list
them as a speaker.
B2) The IPC´s main consideration is of course to generate the highest quality scientific program. Where possible it is important that proposals have equal contributions from gender, nationalities and seniority.
B3) Please note that is predictable that the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) will face problems and limitations in the fund raising for the congress organization and it will be very important to let all the participants know that the LOC will not be able to provide any financial support for invited speakers related to air fare and hotel accomodations. However, registration fees for invited speakers will be waived with the condition that all
speakers register by the required date. For these reasons we suggest to those proposing a Symposium to try raising funds for air fare and hotel accommodation for the speakers of their respective symposium, with their national agencies for supporting research, their national societies of physiology and companies/corporations acting on our field that may sponsor some of our scientific activities during the I PanAmerican Congress.
B4) Prior to proposal submission, please ensure that all speakers have confirmed directly with you that, should your Symposium be selected, they will definitely attend the meeting, noting the conditions of the very limited financial support by the LOC as described in point 3.
B5) The person proposing the symposium is responsible for all communication with the speakers, including being a primary contact for speakers during the submission and review process, informing the speakers if the symposium bid was successful or not, ensuring that speakers submit abstracts and complete registration requirements.
B6) Diversity of speakers (seniority, geographical representation, gender) and timely topics will be important aspects of the selection process of proposed symposia by the SCP. The most successful topics will summarize advances or present conflicting views in rapidly developing areas in physiology and will provide the audience with an overall view.
B7) In your submission of a symposium proposal please provide:
(I) Title of symposium
(II) Names and addresses (including e-mail) of proposer, Chair and speakers
(III) Tentative titles of individual presentations
(IV) One recent, full citation of a published work for each speaker
(V) Confirmation that all speakers and Chair have agreed to participate
(VI) Overall objectives of the symposium (limit 1500 characters) and why the proposal is timely (limit 500 characters)
(VII) Short summary of the symposium (limit 500 characters) to be used for publicity and fundraising purposes.
(VIII) Possibility that the symposium might be sponsored or speaker costs might be shared, defrayed from other sources.
(IX) Any other information which you consider makes the proposal attractive
(X) Proposals that does not follow these instructions will not be considered by the SPC.
