Starting in 2025, the ISOQOL virtual symposia program hosts two symposia per year focused on a specific/niche topic selected from member-submitted proposals.

Topic proposals are now open for the May 2026 Virtual Symposium.

ISOQOL is seeking to identify and address topics of importance to our members and the HRQL field. 

Topics may be:

  • a particular application (e.g., Clinical Practice, Clinical Trials, Observational Research…)
  • a specific disease area (e.g., Neurology, Cardiology, Mental Health…)
  • a particular population (e.g., Children, Caregivers, Patients…)
  • a particular methodology
  • or a combination of the four.

View the agendas and organization of past symposia (formerly known as the Measuring What Matters Symposium) here. Please direct questions about your proposal to info@isoqol.org.

Proposal submissions are due 18 November 2024.
