Symposium
Symposia offer the opportunity to present different research perspectives on a specific topic from different disciplinary angles. Each symposium comprises three speakers, one chair and one discussant. A 90-minute session is planned for each symposium, with 20 minutes of presentation time per talk and 10-15 minutes for the discussant's contribution.
Symposia must fulfil the two-country rule: Active participants (presenting author, chair and discussant) must come from at least two different countries. All active participants must have an FEC 2026 ConfTool account.
Research Lecture
A Research Lecture offers the opportunity to present and discuss current research findings in an interdisciplinary setting. Each presentation is given 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of discussion. The lectures are grouped thematically into 90-minute sessions with three presenters in each session.
Poster Gallery Walk
Posters offer researchers the opportunity to present their work in various visual formats. The poster session takes place as a 90-minute "Gallery Walk" and allows participants to immerse themselves in in-depth discussions about the research work presented.
