2023 European Meeting of ISMPP Call for Session Proposals

Submit Your Proposal

Deadline to submit is Monday, 3 October 2022

Thank you for your interest in submitting a session proposal for the 2023 European Meeting of ISMPP. In an effort to design programming around ISMPP member input, the Programme Committee is accepting proposals for a 40-minute plenary session and roundtable topics to be held on 24 January 2023.

The 2023 European Meeting of ISMPP theme is Fueling Creativity. Creativity involves the generation, exploration, and interpretation of novel and valuable ideas, and spans a wide variety of fields. This theme will explore the science of creativity and its application in problem solving, innovation, and facilitation in medical publications and communications. Sessions will explore how to access your creativity, improve collaboration, adapt new ways of thinking and arrive at unexpected solutions

ISMPP strives to provide fresh content at each live meeting. Based on this we strongly encourage you to refer to the member archives of past European Meetings, particularly the 2022 European Meeting, to avoid duplicating a topic that has been previously presented. Exceptions to this are broad-based or evolving topics that warrant continued discussion. In those cases, please be sure that your proposed session represents an extension of what has been done previously and not merely a repeat of a prior session.

Creativity in format is encouraged as well as faculty diversity (ie, a mix of faculty, some of whom have not previously spoken at an ISMPP meeting as well as organizations that have not been previously represented, as well as those of varying backgrounds and experiences). The strongest proposals are ones which have faculty representing different organizations and viewpoints. Proposals with faculty all/majority from the same institution run the risk of being perceived as being too narrow and/or promotional. Those groups may be asked to reconsider speaker selection. If high quality proposals are received on the same or similar topic, groups may be asked to collaborate. Additionally, proposed faculty must be communicated with in advance of the proposal to gauge willingness and ability to participate.

Proposals will be reviewed by members of the 2023 European Meeting Programme Committee and judged primarily according to quality and overall fit to this year’s meeting agenda. The accepted session proposal will also be reviewed by the Recertification Committee for ISMPP CMPP™ Continuing Education credit.  Acceptance is not guaranteed.

Please complete this form no later than Monday, 3 October 2022. Questions? Contact Sharon Willis, Education Content Manager, at [email protected].
