The Call for Special Sessions for ERSA2017 is now open!

Call for Special Sessions          

 

The Local Organizing Committee of ERSA2017 invite you to propose a Special Session to be included in the programme of next year’s congress. Please, send in your proposal before December 2nd 2016.

 

As the process slightly differs from previous years, we ask you to take note of the procedure and guidelines regarding Special Sessions at ERSA2017.


What do we offer?

Special Sessions are a label of quality in the ERSA congresses and we accommodate for this in several ways:

•  We strive to allow 30 minutes for each presentation slot in a Special Session 

•  Each presentation in a Special Session will be assigned a discussant


What do we ask?

•  Each Special Session has a minimum of 6 registered presenters

•  Presenters apply for a special session on the basis of a draft paper or an extended abstract (deadline February 10th 2017)

•  Presentations are based on a (draft) paper that has been uploaded on the ERSA2017 submission website before June 9th 2017


If a Special Session does not meet these conditions, it will be included in the programme as an O-session.
