Call for Proposals

We invite Panel and Paper proposals across 60 Section themes, including an Open Section for submissions from diverse theoretical and methodological traditions that do not fit readily into other Sections.

You don't have to be affiliated with an ECPR Member institution to propose a Panel or Paper, but you must have a My ECPR profile.

Panel proposals should include 3 – 5 Papers. Papers submitted as part of a Panel do not need to be resubmitted individually.

Paper Presenters can present no more than two Papers and are expected to serve as Discussants for one Paper within their Panel.

Please be aware that if your proposal is accepted, you will be expected to attend the event in person in Thessaloniki. This event does not support hybrid participation.
