• If you wish to attend ► Register and pay online before the registration deadline
• If you cannot attend ► Email us immediately so we can rearrange Papers if necessary
• If one of your co-authors can attend and present in your place ► Email us to let us know they should be listed as Presenter

You'll need to upload your full Paper to the ECPR website via your My ECPR profile or email it to the Panel Chair, Discussant and fellow Paper givers to give your fellow Panellists time to read it.

We will contact you as soon as possible if a space becomes available in the programme. Unfortunately, it is not possible to determine when this will be.
