Society Themes

The Society is arranged around seven Themes that focus on different areas of physiology research. Within those themes are 23 overlapping specialities, thus enabling scientists to align their abstracts or presentations according to both a Theme and speciality. The attached matrix gives an idea of how this flexibility works.

What should I choose?

Please choose your Themes and specialities on the Member Portal. These can be as extensive as you wish. You can be involved with any activity of The Society, regardless of Theme or speciality. We have a group of Theme Leads who are passionate about physiology and committed to providing relevant, topical symposia and meetings that suit their Themes. They are working hard in tandem with the Conferences Committee to shape future events and would love to hear from you. Read a bit more about each of the Themes and their Leads on the pages linked below to help you decide.  For any questions, email us at events@physoc.org

Specialities

The Society has 23 specialities (formerly known as SIGs, or special interest groups) that showcase the wide variety of research topics that fall under the umbrella of physiology. Each speciality is associated with a number of our broader Themes, which are sub-disciplines of physiology.
