Call for Panels and Papers
Invitation for Proposals | Guidelines for Papers and Presentations | To submit a Proposal | Panel Proposals | Joint Papers | Timeline
Once again, the invitation for proposals is for papers belonging to pre-organised panels.
Individual paper proposals will still be considered but we are looking in particular for coherent panels which have been organised through your own networks. Papers belonging to pre-organised panels are more likely to be accepted.
We encourage contributions from all academic disciplines, including law, economics, geography, history, sociology, social policy and politics. We also encourage papers from established academics, practitioners and well-prepared postgraduate research students.
The diverse nature of 'European Studies' is such that not all subjects will be of interest to all participants - the only way to overcome this, is for each discipline to lobby amongst its own networks, to ensure that it has good representation.
If you are looking for colleagues to help complete a panel, you are welcome to use the UACES email list, the EuroResearch email list or you can try the www.ExpertOnEurope.com website.
Guidelines for Papers and Presentations
UACES is keen to be inclusive and to allow researchers at all levels to present papers. We would also like to see a high standard and quality of presentations.
Please refer to the guidelines for research paper-givers to see what will be required of you.
If you have not presented a paper at a conference before, or even if you have, we strongly recommend that you read the presentation guidelines carefully.
Paper Proposals can be submitted by completing the Paper Proposal form and by sending in your completed proposal by email.
As part of the proposal, you will be asked to include an abstract (up to 200 words) which should contain a clear summary of your arguments. If your Paper Proposal is accepted, the abstract will appear on this website.
Instructions on how to submit your Proposal are on the form.
Download the Paper Proposal form [45kb Word document]
Please, only one paper proposal per form.
Finally, please do not send us any paper proposals on behalf of a colleague.
We are looking for panel proposals that are comprised of a chair and three research papers. The chair should not be presenting one of the research papers, but can be a co-author.
Each paper-giver on the panel should submit a Paper Proposal form - this is identical to the form above.
There is provision on the form for you to identify the other members on the panel, and for a synopsis of the panel to be included.
Are you also planning to attend the APSA conference in Chicago which ends on September 2nd? If so, there is provision on the paper proposal form to indicate this - we will endeavour to schedule the panel towards the end of our conference.
Panel chairs are not required to fill in any forms, but should ideally, provide a synopsis of the panel, which should be included on one of the paper proposals that form part of the panel.
Please, only one paper proposal per form - for panels, each paper-giver should submit their own form.
Finally, please do not send us any paper proposals on behalf of a colleague.
For joint papers, the Paper Proposal should be completed by the person who is planning to present the paper at the conference. Your co-author(s) will be recognised on the conference programme, but for the purposes of processing the paper proposals, we only need one contact person.
The deadline for submission of Paper Proposals is Monday 15 January 2007.
All proposals will be assessed by a selection committee. Individual Paper Proposals which are accepted will be allocated to a Panel.
Notifications of acceptance will be sent out by Friday 30 March 2007.
Paper-givers and Panel Chairs are asked to confirm their intention to attend by registering by Thursday 17 May 2007. This allows the research programme to be finalised and published to the conference website.
Non paper-givers will be able to register to attend from March 2007.
Paper-givers are asked to circulate their papers before Monday 16 July 2007 (ideally) to those on their panel. Please refer to the conference website for contact email addresses.
