Call for Invited Sessions and Session Chairs

An invited session consists of at least 5 registered presentations, related to the Congress topics, including a specialized keynote presentation by a session organizer. We are inviting senior scientists, who have an interest in condition monitoring and related topics, to take responsibility for Invited Session and to gather presentations/manuscripts from a range of research and technical experts around the world.

Organizers of Invited Sessions will:

  • organize and chair an invited session at the Congress and will be awarded to present a specialized keynote presentation at the beginning of their sessions.
  • select a topic of an invited session, that will be related to their areas of expertise and to the Congress topics.
  • invite scientists from their network to Invited Sessions; the number of presentations of a session, including your specialized keynote presentation, should be at least 5.

Session organizers are invited to submit a session proposal. This should include:

  • The title of the session
  • A paragraph describing a theme of a session
  • Contact details of Invited Session Chair
  • A short CV and a photograph of Invited Session Chair

Proposals should be sent to the Congress Secretariat (3rdwccm@csei.org.cn).

An essential discount in registration fee or a special gift is available for Invited Session Chairs in recognition of their kind efforts. Session organizers will also receive a further booking discount if they will register early. Invited Session Chairs will become Members of the International Scientific Advisory Committee, and their biography details will be highlighted on the Congress website and Congress Proceedings, that will be distributed worldwide. WCCM is thanking them in advance for their valuable contribution to the Congress.
