Paper Presenter

You may submit multiple proposals, but individuals may perform the function of Section Chair, Panel Chair and Discussant only once. If approved, Paper presenters can present no more than two Papers. All proposals must be submitted in English.

To make a proposal, you do not need to belong to an ECPR member institution however, you and your co-author(s) must have MyECPR profiles. If you don’t already have one, it takes just a few clicks to create. Alternatively, your Paper can be part of a pre-formed Panel proposal, co-ordinated and submitted as a complete Panel by a Panel Chair.  If your Paper has already been submitted as part of a Panel, you do not need to submit it as an individual Paper proposal. If your Paper has more than one author, the person making the proposal will be listed as the Paper presenter. Additional Co-authors can be added to Paper proposals.

To propose an individual Paper, you will need to know:

• The Section number and/or title you wish to propose to, as listed in the Academic Programme
• The Paper title (no more than 20 words)
• The abstract (no more than 500 words)
• 3-8 keywords, selected from a predetermined list, indicating the Paper's subject, theme and scope. Keywords are used to publicly categorise Sections, Panels and Papers, enabling users to search the online programme
• The Co-author's email address as registered in MyECPR (if applicable)

After the deadline, Section Chairs approve/decline/reserve all Papers proposed. Approved Papers not submitted as part of a Panel will be allocated by the Section Chairs to an appropriate Panel. Alternatively, Section Chairs will form additional Panels from individual Papers on a similar subject. Once this has been done, we will email all proposers to let them know the outcome.

Once you know the outcome, you can decide whether you want to attend the Conference. If you do, you need to register and pay online before registration closes. A registration button will appear in the menu on the right-hand side when registration opens.

If your Paper is accepted and you cannot attend, please email the Events Team immediately so we can reshuffle Papers if necessary. If one of your Co-authors can attend and present in your place, email the Events Team to let us know they should be listed as Presenter.

Please upload your full Paper to the ECPR website via your MyECPR profile, or email it to the Panel Chair, Discussant and fellow Paper givers before 10 August to give your fellow Panellists time to read it.

If you have any questions please email the Events Team.
