Paper Proposals for Conferences
Two ways to submit a paper proposal:
- Through a panel proposal: Prospective Panel Chairs must propose between three to five Papers at the time of proposing a Panel. If your Paper is part of a Panel, you do not need to submit it separately.
- Individual submission: Papers not included in a Panel proposal can be submitted to one or more Sections.
What you'll need
- For individual submission, indicate the Section number and/or title to which you are proposing to, as listed in the Academic Programme
- Paper title
- An abstract (maximum 500 words)
- 3-8 keywords from the predetermined list to indicate the Paper's subject, theme, and scope
- Presenter's email address, if different from the submitter and co-author (if applicable), as registered in their My ECPR accounts
*We use keywords to categorise Sections, Panels and Papers, enabling users to search the online programme.
Key Dates and Notification
Dates for Panel and Paper proposals are announced via the ECPR website and other correspondences (i.e. Events Newsletter).
Proposers will receive notification of the outcome of their submission via email.
For detailed information on dates and deadlines, visit the ECPR website.
Important Note: Papers uploaded to the ECPR website are accessible only to registered participants via the ECPR Events App. This is the best way to ensure your work is visible. You may delete your Paper(s) at any time via your My ECPR account.
Proposal outcome and next steps

| If your Paper has been marked as reserved | We will contact you if a space becomes available, but this will depend on when slots open up. Unfortunately, we cannot predict when that might be, but the ECPR coordinators will reach out at the soonest time possible. |
