The International Program Committee invites you to submit a proposal for Concurrent Sessions (parallel symposia, brainstorming sessions), Rapid Communication Sessions, and Poster Presentations for 2013. This year the committee is strongly encouraging submissions that are crucial to our mission but have been historically under-represented in the program. These topics are listed below. In order to increase the breadth of the program and information from around the world, we ask that you consider developing concurrent sessions with colleagues from different countries and institutions.
