CES 2013 - CES Conference 2013 : 20th International Conference of Europeanists

The Council welcomes proposals for papers, sessions, and symposia for the 20th International Conference of Europeanists. The Program Committee particularly encourages proposals for symposia and sessions. Requirements for submitting each type of proposal are explained below:
Papers - Those interested in proposing a specific paper to be delivered during the conference should submit a paper proposal. When submitting a paper proposal, please be prepared to provide a title, abstract, and basic author information (i.e., name, email, rank, institution, role). Abstracts should be no more than 250 words.
Sessions - Those interested in proposing 3-5 papers on a related theme OR any type of panel discussion should submit a session proposal. Session proposals come in three different types: panel, book panel, and roundtable. Of these three types, the most common is the panel, which requires 3-5 papers, a Chair, and a Discussant. Roundtables and book panels require 4-6 participants and a designated Chair. Session organizers should be prepared to provide both session and paper abstracts when submitting session proposals, as well as basic information for all participants (i.e., name, email, rank, institution, role). The Conference Program Committee reserves the right to accept session proposals in whole or in part, and to request modifications to promising proposals to ensure that they meet relevant standards and guidelines. Abstracts should be no more than 250 words.
Symposia - Those interested in proposing 2-4 sessions on a common theme should submit a symposium proposal. To do so, please be prepared to provide an abstract for the symposium, as well as basic abstract and participant information for the papers and panels which will make up the symposium, including designated Chairs and Discussants. Organizers are encouraged to make use of more than one session type (i.e., panel, roundtable, book discussion) when composing their proposals so as to provide variation in format over the course of the symposium. The Conference Program Committee reserves the right to accept symposium proposals in whole or in part, and to request modifications to promising proposals to ensure that they meet relevant standards and guidelines. Abstracts should be no more than 250 words.
All proposals must be received no later than October 8, 2012. Participants will be notified of the Program Committee's decision by December 10, 2012. For more information regarding session types and proposal requirement, consult our Conference FAQs or email us at: ces-AT-columbia.edu
