we’d like to continue to the tradition of hosting a thematic session on the
cognitive science of interpreting. By doing this, all of the interpreting papers
can be presented together rather than getting lost in the shuffle of a very
large program.</span></p>

iteration of ISB changes the format slightly, and ISB13 is no different. The
thematic sessions in Warsaw will be allotted 90 minute time slots, with the
idea of having three papers presented. Similar to two years ago, we thought we
could gauge interest in presenting a paper and then group these papers into as
many thematic sessions as we need. Our goal with this email is to find out who

ISB13 has made, is that the proposals for thematic session are now due before
abstracts for individual papers. That deadline has been extended due to
coronavirus, but is still rather soon on June 15, 2020. I know this is a rather
long time before the conference and not so long since the last, but that seems
to be the way of ISB. If you have something now that you’d like to present in
July 2021, we’d be very happy to hear about it. If you’re not quite ready yet,
don’t despair, the deadline for individual papers is November 30, 2020. Further,
the organizers note that they might ask thematic sessions to include papers
from that submission.</span></p>

addresses) know you are interested and give us at least a (working) title for
the paper and brief description so that we know where to place it thematically.
Second, by June 8, 2020, send the full abstract (maximum 300 words). This will
allow us enough time to finalize the submissions before the June 15 deadline.</span></p>
