INSPIRE Conference Committee

Tasks and responsibilities:  The task of this committee is to plan the INSPIRE events that are currently organized in every even numbered year. The committee is responsible for ensuring that all the detailed planning is properly done.  This includes overseeing the financial arrangements in consultation with the Treasurer, who does not necessarily have to be a member of this committee.  It also includes planning the Scientific program and the workshop program. 

The Science and Research Coordinator should be part of this committee and be involved in the process of selecting the presenters in the areas of Science and Research (Research symposia, Poster presentations). A separate Scientific Program subcommittee may be appointed for this purpose chaired by the Science and Research Coordinator. The Training Coordinator should be part of this committee and be involved in the process of selecting the presenters of workshops and clinical symposia. A separate Workshop and Clinical Program subcommittee may be appointed for this purpose chaired by the Training Coordinator. If needed the committee can appoint a local organizing committee to attend to the fine details of the local planning.

The committee should develop and publish a policy document with respect to how presenters in each category will be selected and to update this as needed in light of ongoing experience.

The committee should meet online at least 4 times a year to review policy and as often as needed to attend to the detailed planning of the next ENLIGHT event.
