Standing Working Groups

The Standing Working Groups (SWG) are small, thematically organized research groups within ISCHE, designed to coordinate research and discussion on a set topic, guided by specific research goals, for a set period of time. SWGs are automatically granted two parallel session slots on the programme of each ISCHE annual conference (in ISCHE Byelaws).

Please note that all proposals must be submitted through the conference electronic system by selecting the respective SWG. You can find more about the SWG here
