Call for Session Conveners
We invite scholars to express their interest in serving as conveners for a Thematic Panel or a Symposium.
Submission of proposals for Thematic Panels is open for all interested parties within the conference theme of Global Challenges and Local Innovations in Care or the broad themes suggested above;
a Thematic Panel is therefore a particularly good option for people willing to catalyze the interest of researchers on new themes.
Thematic Panel Conveners are responsible for
- proposing the broad theme of a session, preferably but not exclusively within the theme of “global challenges and local innovations in care”,
- assessing and ranking all abstracts submitted for their own session, finally selecting up to 4 papers,
- identifying 1-2 discussants, including eventually the conveners themselves,
- communicating with paper authors and supervising (together with local organizers) the paper submission to the closed conference forum in good time before the conference.
Regardless of format, conveners will
- chair their respective session in the conference,
- presenting the theme of the session, and
- providing adequate time for paper presentations and their discussion.
Expressions of interest for both session formats should be max. 1 page long.

Please send your expression of interest by 15 September 2026 to tcc2027@care-taiwan.org.
Information about accepted proposals will be sent out on 15 October 2026.
