Important: Please ensure you are logged into the event platform with the same My ECPR account as the one you have registered for the event with, using the same username and password.

Get started

The format of each Panel and activity is indicated in the programme with the following icons:

  In-person Panel or activity

  Virtual Panel or activity

You can also search the programme by Panel code: INN for in-person Panels held in Innsbruck and VIR for virtual Panels. 

We will stream all in-person Panels and headline events online.

These will be available to all conference participants via our event platform – simply head to  On Now and follow the link to join.

As a Panel Chair, you have been assigned as Host for your Panel's Zoom meeting.

Joining via web browser

You will be automatically assigned as Host if you join your Panel in the browser.

Joining via the Zoom app

You will need to use a 6-digit Host Key to claim your Host status for the meeting.

You'll find your Host Key in your  Itinerary on the event platform. See Zoom guide – How to claim Host privileges.

When your Panel has finished, please make sure you click ‘End Meeting for All’.

To access the event platform and your Itinerary, you will need to log in with the same My ECPR account as the one you registered for the event with, using the same username and password.

 

Please make sure you have tested and are aware of your credentials in advance of your Panel session.

If all Panels in which you have a participating role are taking place virtually, please consider your environmental footprint and avoid travelling to Innsbruck.

Please note that the virtual participation fee (both participant and observer) covers online participation only.

We think that everyone deserves a positive event experience.

Please take a few moments to read our Code of Conduct which outlines our expectations regarding the conduct of participants at all our events.

Get ready

Please note that uploading your Paper via My ECPR constitutes an agreement for ECPR to publish the Paper on the event platform, which will be accessible to all participants.

Please upload your Paper (in PDF format and in English) well ahead of your presentation so that your fellow Panel attendees have time to prepare comments and questions.

  1. Head to My Events in your My ECPR account and find the ECPR General Conference 2022 event;
  2. Click the Full Details button;
  3. Click Manage Paper > Browse > Select your Paper > Open/OK > Upload;
  4. Click View Document to ensure that it has been uploaded successfully.

You can also use this facility to replace your Paper or remove it after the event.

Have trouble uploading your Paper?

Contact our Events Team.

Prefer to share your Paper with fellow panellists directly?

Please email your Paper to your Panel Chair.
