The [[Mini Symposia]] are an important part of ISSS operations.<br>
The [[Mini Symposia]] are a vital part of ISSS operations.
They typically take place once a week, bypassing major holidays and the summer break. The [[ISSS President]] decides on the day and time. Some Presidents choose to organize repetitions over the same week to allow Members in different continents to attend, or they schedule some at a time more convenient for USA-Europe and some for Australia-Asia.


One should take care of the time change during the summer months. For example, the United Kingdom uses Greenwich Mean Time (also known as Western European Time, which is UTC+00:00), but between the last Sunday in March and the last Sunday in October shifts to the British Summer Time, which is UTC+01:00 (also known as Western European Summer Time).
