Guidelines to set up a SIG
An outline of the process for setting up a SIG has been created as guide for individuals/ groups willing to set up a SIG:
- Submitting a proposal (in Word or PDF format) with a CV. The proposal shall include but not be limited to the following. Submission by email to IACAPAP Secretary General through the IACAPAP Executive Officer (info@iacapap.org).
- Please describe the SIG referencing, citing some research that has been done in this field, a description of what you intend to discuss and achieve, etc.
- The SIG Promoter/Coordinator must demonstrate some evidence that there are members of IACAPAP interested in being a part of this SIG. A minimum of at least 10 members is recommended.
- Once it’s approved by the Bureau, the SIG coordinator shall submit an article about the SIG and publish it in the IACAPAP Bulletin, and may be followed by a dedicated lunch & learn webinar (45 – 60 minutes) where possible with support from the IACAPAP Executive Officer. By organising these two activities, we hope it will help further generate interest of IACAPAP members to join and participate in the SIG.
- After completing the two activities mentioned, the SIG will be eligible to present a symposium at the upcoming IACAPAP Congress.
