Proposal Guidelines

Panel and Paper proposals are now open!

Panel proposals

  • Each participant may submit up to 3 papers (including co-authored papers) or organized panel proposals. A mixture of both panel and paper proposals are allowed up to the total of 3.
  • In addition to panels and papers, individuals can submit proposals for other formats (roundtable, author meet critics, etc.) to one of the sections.

What you'll need

To make a Paper proposal, you and your co-author(s) must have a My ECPR profile. If you don’t already have one, it takes just a few clicks to create. 

  • 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 340 words)
  • 3–8 keywords, selected from a predetermined list, indicating the Panel’s subject, theme and scope. We use these keywords to categorise Panels (as well as Sections and Papers), enabling users to search the online programme.
  • The Co-author’s email address as registered in MyECPR (if applicable)
  • The email address of the Discussant as registered in My ECPR
Details of Papers within Panel
  • The abstract of each Paper (no more than 350 words including the title)
  • 3–8 keywords for each Paper, selected from a predetermined list, indicating the Paper’s subject, theme and scope. We use these keywords to categorise Panels (as well as Sections and Papers), enabling users to search the online programme.
  • Each Paper Presenter’s email address, as registered in My ECPR
  • Each Paper Co-author’s email address, as registered in My ECPR (if applicable)

What happens next

  • After the deadline, Section Chairs approve/decline/reserve all Panels and Papers proposed.
  • Approved Papers not submitted as part of a Panel will be allocated to an appropriate Panel.
  • Section Chairs may form additional Panels from individual Papers on a similar subject.
  • All proposers are informed of the outcome.

The Academic Convenors may use their discretion to reallocate Panels and Papers to other Sections and Panels as required. Section Chairs may, therefore, be asked to accommodate new Panels in their Sections, and Panel Chairs may be asked to accommodate extra Papers within their Panels. Similarly, Section Chairs may also be asked to reduce the number of their Panels and rearrange their Papers accordingly.
