The Call for Panels and Papers closed on Friday 22 January 2010. We are not accepting any further submissions.
What is the Research Conference and what should I expect?
[keep scrolling down the page for more info]
At Bruges, there will be a number of Research Sessions embedded within the conference programme which together, comprise the Research Conference. During each Session there will be a number of different Research Panels; as these panels will be held in parallel you will need to pick and choose which panels to attend. The diverse nature of European Studies is such that not all panels will be of interest to all participants.
All paper-givers are asked to read the guidelines for presenting a paper.
By submitting a paper proposal, you are making a FIRM commitment towards attending the conference and for being available to present your paper on ANY day of the conference.
We ask that you investigate the cost of attending the conference before submitting your proposal. Paper-givers, Discussants and Chairs are all expected to pay a registration fee to attend the conference. We will publish the fees to this website as soon as they have been finalised.
Our preference is always for 'Pre-organised Panel Proposals', however, 'Individual Paper Proposals' are still welcome and will be considered. If the conference is heavily subscribed, a Panel Proposal is more likely to be accepted.
We encourage contributions from all academic disciplines, including law, economics, geography, history, sociology, public policy and politics. We also encourage papers from established academics, practitioners and well-prepared doctoral students.
If you are looking for colleagues to form a pre-organised panel we suggest the following:

If you are organising a panel, please do make the paper-givers aware that there are registration fees to attend the conference before including their papers in your panel proposal.
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.
For papers with more than one author, the paper proposal should be submitted 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 purpose of processing the paper proposals, we only need one submission.
The deadline for submission of proposals is Friday 22 January 2010.
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 19 March 2010.
Registration (for both paper-givers and others) will open in March 2010.
Paper-givers are asked to confirm their intention to attend by registering by Tuesday 1 June 2010. This allows the research programme to be finalised and published to the conference website.
Paper-givers are asked to circulate their papers by Monday 26 July 2010 to those on their panel.
If you would like your paper uploaded to the conference website, please email it to admin@uaces.org.
