As per my understanding of the Planners' invitation, having already
submitted your proposal about Chemistry is the ideal starting point.
Now PMCs should come up with valuable proposals and give guidance to
Planners about conference contents.
After PMCs submitting their 'big picture' programs, talks will be
elected among the ones already submitted.

That is to say: Planners are going to drive a double phase selection;
phase 2_ coming on top of 1_:
1_ PMCs programs selection
2_ Talks selection
If the previous considerations stand, we should firstly come up with
an interesting program (including 1 or more projects); this will
increase chances of success for submitted talks surfing around such a
program.

Is my understanding about this correct?
Cheers,
