Key Responsibilities

The scientific forums provide a European platform for contact and exchange of ideas and scientific initiatives within their specific field of interest with an aim of producing scientific content for conferences and educational programmes organised by the ESAIC. In this structure, forum members have the following duties:

• Submitting session proposals along with suggestions for topics and speakers (including themselves) for the scientific programme of the annual Euroanaesthesia congress, and other ESAIC educational events (Focus Meeting, webinars, podcasts, e-learning modules, and other formats).
• Assessing abstracts submitted for presentation at Euroanaesthesia (EA), and moderating poster sessions during the annual congress.
• Collaborating with other forums, especially when developing scientific content in overlap with other forums’ specialty.
• Undertaking additional responsibilities as decided by the Board.

When a ‘lead’ position becomes available in a subforum, elected forum members may be appointed subforum lead, in agreement with other subforum members.

• Appointed subforum leads coordinate the work within the subforum and are the main point of contact for the forum chairs and the ESAIC headquarters for a specific specialty.
